I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. GCC does not include a linker or library. So the right place to report a bug is to the linker or library project. What you are describing sounds to me like a linker bug. Since you are using MinGW, it's likely that you are using the GNU linker. If that is so, then running "ld --help" will show you where to report linker bugs, probably http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/ . Ian
