All sorts of wonderful errors on an ealier version I tried to port, I know I need to incorporate the changes Antonio Sanmarti put into v8.2.3 but stopped about halfway, I've never gone back to it. I havent installed the latest GCC, so havent tried this one but I suspect it will requires changes as well. If no one else tries it, I'll give it a go during the first two weeks of Nov while my wife is in New Zealand. My idea of a holiday is staying home :-) I am hoping that some one that has GCC installed already might be willing to give it a go.

I had this problem working with linking in some NASM-compiled assembly, but I don't think I've seen it on straight gcc built object files. A workaround is probably to build straight into a.out form rather trying to build an OMF executable. Use EMXBIND to get an OS/2 executable. (This was the case with PGCC. I have no familiarity with GCC 3.x.)
