swarm-1.4: gcc vs egcs ; minor changes

[Rick Riolo]

I installed the couple of rpm's I didn't have which
alex listed, and then re-made swarm-1.4 using those,
using egcs (vs gcc) under rh5.2, and it works just fine;
e.g., to make an opt version I just used:

cd /usr/local/swarm/Swarm-1.4/swarm-1.4/builds/opt
export SWARMSRCDIR="/usr/local/swarm/Swarm-1.4/swarm-1.4"
export CC="/usr/bin/egcs"  
CFLAGS=-O3 $SWARMSRCDIR/configure --srcdir=$SWARMSRCDIR 
--prefix=$SWARMSRCDIR/opt
make
make install

---------------------

A couple of things I noticed changed but didn't see
in the News / Port notes (but maybe I missed them):

1. Something in the way the Makefile handles
      INCLUDES+=-I...
   type lines changed. (see my other message just now)

2. For using Arguments, this used work:
      @interface RParametersArgs : Arguments
   but now it must be
      @interface RParametersArgs : Arguments_c
