You've got the wrong Paul. You want Mr. Smedley, not me. I know virtually
nothing about GCC, apart from having struggled with it to compile ISOFS.

Forwarder DLLs are fairly easy (in IBM VAC++ 3 anyway, no idea about GCC)
if you know what you are trying to achieve, since they are just lists of
imports and exports. Of course, you MUST make sure the interfaces are
the same between libc versions, otherwise you will crash and burn.
This may or may not be easy to deduce. I guess you need to look at all
the relevant source code to be sure.
