I would really appreciate to hear from people who has actually used a
c-compiler/linker to create a normal run-time library of the kind that can
be found in the LIBS: directory.

I am only interested in hearing about compiler/linker that you have used
develop big libraries without any use of library tools.


If you have:
*  information about specification for compiler/linker that says that
   they can create libraries.
*  managed to re-compile a PD-library with a compiler.
Then don't bother telling me about it! I need REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES from
developing libraries that tells me that I REALLY can rely on a compiler to
generate correct code!

I'm currently using Manx 5.0a which I managed to force into creating a
correct library.  Version 5.0d is a dead-end, even though it generates
very nice code for ordinary programs.

I have read that SAS (former Lattice) is supposed to be able to generate
libraries also. Will it do that? Really? What about DICE, GCC, etc?


Please help a frustrated man...
