The error message is coming from the linker (it's complaining about something in a .o file, whereas the compiler would complain about something in a source file). The error message complains that something is defined in a "discarded section". The linker is what discards sections. So, I figure it's more likely to be a linker bug where it's discarding a section it shouldn't. Of course, it's possible that the compiler has mistakenly constructed a section which the linker is within its rights to discard. But the linker seems like the place to start under these circumstances. -- ksig --random| -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
