I grabbed the gcc executables a few days ago.  I found that I had
insufficient resources to run it (sob :-( ).  I uploaded it to a local BBS,
though.  One person who downloaded it.  This person has a quite bit of
experience programming on the ST but I don't think he knows a lot about
Unix.

Since can't run it I can't be of much immediate assistance.  Does
anyone here have suggestions?  My guess is the MT C shell does command
line arguments differently than gulam (the shell used by the guy who
did the port).  Perhaps it also does environment variables differently.
(so the compiler merely can't find the library file as opposed to being
unable to read it?)
