AIUI:

UnixLib's system() does all the necessary moving of memory to enable
chaining programs - moving memory around in the task slot to allow loading
the new program at &8000, executing it, and then returning after.

I think SharedCLibrary does this also, but in a less comprehensive way (no
fork() or exec(), no pipes beyond stdio, etc).

OSLib will allow you to call OS_CLI - you can call commands from modules,
Obey files or transient Utilities, but if you call an AIF binary it'll never
return. It's similar to calling OS_CLI from BASIC in this respect.

Looks fine to me. You can always check in the archive:
http://www.riscos.info/pipermail/gcc/
You can set Mailman not to send you your own messages - maybe you have this
turned on?
