(Not related to the OP's question)

A few years ago, last I tested it, the only reason that 4NT/TCC failed
the build process is one line in nt/configure.bat:

  if not "%$foo$%" == "123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123"
goto SmallEnv

because 4NT expands %$ (is an internal variable, like %1, etc.) so the
comparison is always false. If $foo$ were called foo$ 4NT would have
no trouble at all.

I mentioned that back then, but the idea of changing one character to
cater to non-free software was ill-received, IIRC.
