There is loads of legacy code around that makes all sorts of
unwarranted assumptions, as you yourself have noted, I believe.
It may well be that this compiler, when generating code for Win32,
throws away the segment part. But I've seen an awful lot of code,
some of it quite new, that assumes a 'address is equivalent to a
'access. I've even gone through the pain of fixing such code to make
it work on other than the original coder's compiler.
And how could you possibly make an embedded 32 bit program which
actually used segments as intended, with a compiler that believed
there was only one segment? Clearly such a compiler would truly be
broken.
