Hi Ian, Thanks for the quick response. I was having a bunch of little problems, all of which were down to supplying the wrong cmd line switches to the cc compiler driver utility (poor docs for my out of date toolchain...). I was pursuing this for a professional project but it is no longer an approach valid for our purposes, so I won't be working on it any longer. Thanks for the swift response, though!
