Some more data points...

First off, my previous mail was misleading.  When I said +initialize, I 
meant +processInfo.  My bad.

Here's the output of my logging, the location of the various printfs 
should be self-evident.  At this point, it has become evident that th 
eproblem is not so much with _gnu_noobjc*, but with _gnu_environment 
and friends.

It occurs to me that for some reason, base has built with garbage 
collection, although I neither want nor need it (as the offending 
_gnu_arguments and friends are disappearing, never to be seen again, 
between +initialize and +processInfo - if gc was not being expected, 
they should be being retained).

Does this make sense?  And how can I force GNUstep to build _without_ 
gc?  I'm guessing that this is going to involve a complete recompile of 
all the libraries, yet again.  Sigh.
