Yes, this was not really a joke :-\

An other stupid question :
why dont link _only_ gnustep-base to a static libobjc ?
So you would not had multiple objc runtime !

Hum... i bet you can't ;-)
I read many things about undefined symbols that prevent to build dll...
Is that the problem ?

Thanks for your patience :-)
