A couple of months back I reported to the list that I had GNUstep
running on the same architecture (btw, it is Linux/PA-RISC).

Apart from a couple of warnings when compiling (IIRC something
about alignment requirements, search the list), it worked ...
I didn't pass any special flags, nor did I have to tweak anything,
it just built GNUstep out-of-the-box (shared libs, not statically)


I think the problem lies in the fact that you *really* must use
gcc to link the libraries, since ld (from GNU binutils is practically
useless on Linux/PA-RISC).
