 if its 2.5.3 throw it away :)  if its 2.3.3 have a look at the code
(gcc -S ..) or look whats wrong with gdb...  i still have 2.3.3 here
and i don't remember _ever_ having to do something like this.

 or add -v to your linker flags to see if it is loading the right
(16 bit for -mshort) libs...

 btw there is now source available for arena, anyone thought about
porting that? :)  http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Arena/beta-1
