The problem is with the linker, which, I'm sure, is in fact buggy as elliot points out below (b/c I've had about 1,000,000 compiles with libtool tell me so =). I'm sure this is all debatable... but the point is that elliot is being a jerk as is evidenced below and probably won't lift a finger to make his code portable. Can someone give me a hint as to how to fix the problem--hopefully he'll at least incorperate some patches!
