It was : This is a known problem in Objective C, it is described in the DJGPP FAQ : list (section 11.7). That section includes a pointer to a patch which : solves this bug, but you will have to rebuild GCC in order to get a : corrected version :-(. : The latest vesrion of the DJGPP FAQ list is available as v2/faq201b.zip : from the same place you get DJGPP. So no one's put up a precompiled patch? It's looking like I'll just go ahead and recompile the stuff, I'm just hoping that there aren't any things not covered in the docs that may come back and haunt me.
