What's puzzling is there is no *error* message from the compiler -- just 
warnings.

But obviously something went wrong.

I wonder of the string length warning is from the pre-processor, and 
then the compiler itself dies (dumps core?) without issuing an error 
message.

Does the problem -- missing wrappers -- *always* occur paired with the 
string length warning?  I can easily see the following;
   (1) the size of the wrapper script is very close to 4K
   (2) there are several embedded paths
   (3) sometimes, those paths are long enough to push the total script
       length over 4K -- and gcc-3.4.x is rude enough to fail silently.
If so, I could easily split the the script generation into two separate 
strings...
