Actually you didn't miss much, i did get gss 2.95.2 to build by doing
some reworking of the config logic, and it even builds tcl (8.2) however
it has a really nasty tendency to build shared objects that crash the
linker-/

Building rpm4 really showed this , *all* of the intermediate .so's were
unusable , and i ended up using both compilers (ick!)

If you have patches /whatever that you used to build 2.97 i'd be
interested, as i will probably give that a try at some point, 95 seems to
unstable for production use :(

gsh

ps: i'd still love an explanation for this one:

/usr/lib/libieee.a:  ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, MIPS RS3000_BE -

um...it's supposed to be an archive folks ;)

(This causes interesting linker crashes too ;)
