I can confirm that most examples crash in qemu (the only two who open a
graphics mode and work here are exfont and extimer I think).. but I have
no idea how to debug it. If I run gdb, it stays in fullscreen and all I
can do is close the qemu window :/

Also, with my qemu setup, compilation took almost an hour.. much longer
than it took in real DOS back then - so that's no good for doing much
testing either.

Does someone remember what exactly the problem is? Why would the C-only
version need non-C calling convention for anything?
