That sounds like a familiar situation to me too... Or I post a query and when I
read it on my incoming email it sounds stupid...

At the moment, I'm in the middle of updating my KDE to a snapshot version (sort
of between 1.0 and 1.1 (which is out in a few months)). Apparently you need this
to compile k-office. Having said that, I think I might wait until egcs is a part
of the source tree for NetBSD and some kind soul produces a egcs-included
snapshot and shared libs work again.

Can someone tell me if egcs supports shared code yet? When I compile stuff
that has the -fPIC or -fpic flags, it complains that the compiler doesn't
support this flag (ie -fpic/-fPIC). Are these the flags compilers use to produce
shared/dynamic code or am I getting confused with something else? (This was
with version 1.03 - I'm going to try and compile 1.1.1 soon - does 1.1.1 include
all the patches that Richard and Charles posted to this list?)
