gcc question

[Philippe C.D. Robert]

Hi,

sorry if this is not the right group to ask, but...

I am trying to make GNUstep work on Irix 6.5.x. Thus I recently installed 
gcc 3.0.1 on my box and now I see that it was compiled using --disable-shared. 
What does that exactly mean? I remember that this flag was not set for the
gcc 3.0.0 I had before. 

nephilim 79% gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/mips-sgi-irix6.5/3.0.1/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr/freeware 
--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --disable-shared --enable-threads 
--enable-haifa
Thread model: single
gcc version 3.0.1

Additionally, do I need to install/use ffcall when using gcc 3.x?

thanks,

-Phil
