Fred,

the remark was certainly not meant that way: I very much appreciate the
work you all put into this. But I have no experience working with
experimantal libraries: but 25 years of mainframe programmint learned me
that the in 99.9999 % of the cases, the problem is with your program, and
not with a system library. That why Ive kept trying to recompile for two
weeks, before posting to the disussion list.

As you indicated, the error was already solved: I reloaded the new libobjc2
and GNUstep base built almost completely error-free.

Kind regards

Edwin Ancaer
