Thanks for your help Igor.
Actually I found the answer by googling for
"___RUNTIME_PSEUDO_RELOC_LIST__". Someone had that problem fixed by
upgrading to the latest binutils.
Ah, right, that would do it. Strangely enough, Googling for partial
string ("RUNTIME_PSEUDO_RELOC") didn't work -- apparently Google does
treat underscores as letters, and not as separators...
I checked and my binutils was a 2002<something> version while there is a
2004... one available.
What I can't understand is how an old 2002 version of binutils ended up
on my system. I installed from scratch over the internet just before
christmas umm.. maybe six weeks ago or so and I assumed I got the latest
version of everything. I must have assumed wrong !?. (unless the
subsequent kde installation set it back ??)
Your installation is only as up-to-date as your mirror. Plus, there may
be *two* versions of binutils on your machine -- check your PATH.
I upgraded binutils to the 2004 version with setup and ext.c now
compiles. I still get the "incompatible pointer type" warnings at the
compilation stage but it links and creates the .dll with no complaints
and the application starts up.
Did you check whether tcl.h gets included? If it is, it could be a bug in
ext.c.
It does seem to behave funny, refusing to enter certain directories, but
that I'll have to investigate separately.
Perhaps related to the above warnings?
