Disagreement is good. Please do not make it personal. I will feel sorry if
you just give up. I believe most of us would like to hear voice from
different sides.
Also, this mailing list has helped me a lot. I feel shame that I have not
made any contribution because of lack of knowledge.
Keep going!
Sincerely,
Wei Ku

Since I feel some responsibility here, I will take it upon myself to
suggest that you not react hastily. While DRS did get carried away
and posted a number of ad hominem remarks to A Phillip Smith and then
to me, culminating with the quoted silliness, he did this in a small
number of messages in quite a short period; his previous postings
were not of that sort. In any case, there is plenty of useful
information posted to this mailing list, so I would hope you
wouldn't throw out the baby with the bathwater. If you don't find the
mailing list of value to you then by all means drop it, but please
don't do just just because someone insulted *me*; I can give as good
as I take, as witnessed by the subject line (which of course was
a play on the previous "... ... question" subject).

I originally thought I might get something useful out of this mailing
list (and maybe even be able to contribute a bit). Most
technically-specific mailing lists tend to be civil, intelligent,
and generally enlightening. But the realization that someone like DRS
is continuously insulting everyone on this list is enough to make me
get out. If he actually contributed something useful, I *might* put
up with it, but that's not the case.
I'll leave you all to receive your insults from DRS (unforturnately,
I'm sure this activity is the hightlight of his day).

Which of course is not the point. But in fact, Phil's code works
if -lkernel32 is omitted from the command line.
It appears that including a library twice that contains dll jump table information will hose up
a binary. I've noticed this as well. When I have -lkernel32 in there twice (the gcc spec
automatically includes it already) things do not work properly.

It is, and I've proven it.

It has been proven that Win NT misbehaves in cases where win95 does not;
ld -s is a well-known example.

This has nothing to do with the bug being discussed.

So what? You haven't run the same code, nor on the same system.

Which of course is not the point. But in fact, Phil's code works
if -lkernel32 is omitted from the command line.
