All seems to be well again as far as building is concerned, so must have
been something like that.

However, using saved_trad_gcl.exe I get confirmation after compiling a
function that gazonk0.o is being loaded:

==============================================
>(defun test ( a b ) ( + a b ) )

TEST

>(compile 'test)

Compiling gazonk0.lsp.
End of Pass 1.
End of Pass 2.
OPTIMIZE levels: Safety=0 (No runtime error checking), Space=0, Speed=3
Finished compiling gazonk0.lsp.
Loading gazonk0.o
start address -T 101d1338 Finished loading gazonk0.o
#<compiled-function TEST>

>(test 1 2.2)

3.2000000000000002

==============================================

whereas with saved_ansi_gcl.exe and saved_full_gcl.exe there is no
indication that gazonk0.o is being loaded after compilation:

==============================================
>(defun test ( a b ) ( + a b ) )

TEST

>(compile 'test)

Compiling gazonk0.lsp.
End of Pass 1.
End of Pass 2.
OPTIMIZE levels: Safety=1 (No runtime error checking), Space=0, Speed=3
Finished compiling gazonk0.lsp.
#<compiled-function TEST>

>(test 1 2.2)

3.2000000000000002
==============================================

Is this correct?

Cheers
