Did you try different environment styles under gulam? I have
   set env_style mw
in my gulam.g; this makes most of my programs happy. Another useful
alternative (if your code expects environment strings like FOO=\0BAR\0
instead of FOO=BAR\0) is "set env_style bm".

Yes, -fomit-frame-pointer. gcc should have warned you that "-gg" and
"-fomit-frame-pointer" were incompatible.
