/*
 SYNOPSIS:

 With GCC >= 4.6:
 # gccgo gcd.go -o gcd-go
 # ./gcd-go 11 22 33 44 121

 With Google Go (http://golang.org/):
 # go run gcd.go 11 22 33 44 121
 # or, if you want to play with the binary
 # go build -o gcd-go gcd.go
 # ./gcd-go 11 22 33 44 121

 GCC makes dynamically linked binary,
 but Google Go - statically linked
