- 1.06 works fine and that has the same warning. I'm not entirely sure what
- dosound actually does.
-
- By the way, I wouldn't trust GCC 2.4.anything yet, from what I've seen in
- gnu.gcc.bugs the release is nowhere near as stable as GCC 2.3.x. I know that
- 2.4.2 had some major code generation bugs for the m68k though, especially if
- you used the optimiser. GCC is currently at 2.4.5 by the way, and may very
- soon go up to 2.4.6 as there are still a great deal of problems.

-
- Hmm.. I had this problem with Minixfs 6.0.4 until I fixed
- /usr/include/types.h just whilst I compiled minixfs. It seems that nlink_t
- might have changed size from short to unsigned char, see my earlier message.
-
- I don't know if MiNT has changed though.
