Ok, I'm leaving the subject line as is, but changing the headers so this goes
to the list instead of you personally (the from was you and there was no 
Reply-To).
Hopefully this is the correct thing to do.

Yes!

If I define BROKEN_LINKER, I can compile & then successfully link either way
(with or without -static).

I find it still crashes under gdb if linked without -static
(segfault at the first reference to LINES),
but if both compiled with BROKEN_LINKER and linked with -static,
then it runs under gdb without segfaulting.

Thanks much!
