I think Steven was facing the issue that testing for compiler / 
linker return code is not useful. Dustmite was running a long 
time and linker status code was at the end caused not by the 
intended error but by just removing all coding lines.
In most cases you really have to test the text output of 
compiler/linker.

You may just add a warning line while using return code to make 
new users aware of this behavior.

Kind regards
