Hi Mark.

We've noticed a number of problems with recent versions of GCC.  What version
of GCC are you using?  If it helps we know that gcc-3.4 works fine,
unfortunatly it will be removed from Debian soon.  Otherwise some workarrounds
are available.  Please see the FAQ.  I'm also activly working on packages for
Debian.  Before they make it into the main repositories I'll host them in our
own bleeding-edge repositories.  Let me know and I"ll e-mail you when they're
ready.  (They only support the asm_fast.gc grade with static linking for now).

Thanks.
