Hi everyone,
I started to work with djgpp two weeks ago. I have installed:
	djdev111	gpp257
	djeoe111	dj111m1/m2
	gcc257bn	bnu22bn
on a Texas Laptop, 486 AT 25MHz 4Mbytes RAM, DOS 6.00.
Generally djggp works very well, but I discovered that it doesn't compile c++
programs with class object with file scope, i.e.:
				-*-
class	something
{
 public:
  int	a,b,c,d;

 public:
 something()	{};
 something(int x)	{ a = b = c = d = x; };
~something()	{};
};

something	list_of_something[50];

main()
{}				-*-
"gcc test.cc -lgpp" -> c:\gcc/tmp/cca0074:130:Error: Unknow pseudo-op `.section'
The code above described is compiled flawlessy on Unix platforms with gcc relea-
ses ranging from 2.3.3 to 2.5.8. If I insert the line
something	list_of_something[50];
inside a procedure scope, the code is compiled even with djgpp. 
Thanks in advance for any hint...
Regards,
			Paolo
