Thanks for the update, I'm still planning to make a
release of "gdcmac" for Leopard and might as well aim
for Xcode 3.1 and gcc-5484 instead of 3.0 and gcc-5465.

Or maybe stick with the original "plan" and go straight
for gcc_42 instead, for the fictional GDC 0.25 release ?
Along with upgrading MinGW's GCC to 4.2.1, for "gdcwin"...

"gdcgnu" will probably wait for GCC 4.3.0, with Fedora 9.

Here on the NG as good a place as any, as far as I know.

Or file another bug report upstream, but those then risk
being annoyances and closed as "dupe" rather than helpful.
But I think the Apple linker bug also affected e.g. GHC ?

I included the patch and a binary in the package meanwhile.
