I second that, since the discussion seems no longer pertinent to my
original problem.
FWIW, I managed to get Gorm working by removing the -fomit-frame-pointer
flag. A few points:
I am working with the CVS version, although I think stable did much the
same thing.
I was originally using the libffi that is installed with GCC 4.0 - I
assumed that would be compiled with default flags since it builds itself
3 times, however a few things I have seen (e.g. the dev version of Linux
From Scratch) suggest that perhaps gcc builds itself with
-fomit-frame-pointer. If that is the case I would expect that libffi is
safe from adverse side-effects or they wouldn't do it.
I also tried with ffcall before posting to the list, although with
-fomit-frame-pointer, so that could well have contributed to the
problem. Thanks to those who pointed out that this breaks with that flag
- thinking about it logically, it's not that surprising I guess. (The
callbacks are frame-based, right?)
I tested Gorm at each stage of the rebuild after make, base, gui and
back - it continued to crash until I rebuilt Gorm itself, so I don't
know if that's something to do with a library it links with or if Gorm
itself is sensitive to the flag.
I had seg faults with GWorkspace as well, which were fixed by the
complete uninstall and rebuild I did prior to fixing Gorm (i.e. still
with libffi and -fomit-frame-pointer). I don't know if this is a related
issue, but I thought I would mention it as well, since it seems that
this is a general gnustep compilation problem and not Gorm as such.
Thanks to everybody for the helpful suggestions.
