Hm. Interesting. As you saw in the FAQ, for me it requires a
more elaborate configure statement, but it is great to hear this
works for you. I don't recall which swarm edition you were
using, but if this is a recent snapshot and it compiles without
java support, I'm truly surprised.

Yes, you are seeing desired output.

These other things are the warnings that the FAQ mentions
http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/SwarmFaq/SwarmOnlineFaq.html#2.3.
Harmless, but annoying. Unless you patch gcc, they won't go
away.

In case others are following this thread, here is the relevant

Hmm. That's a real puzzler! It is almost as if main.o was
compiled on a different machine.  I've run intot two problems
like that. 

1) sometimes files are saved on Windows PCs. Most of the time
Unix systems can use them, sometimes not, I don't know why. In
emacs, you can edit a file, and do M-x
set-buffer-file-coding-system (RET) undecided-unix and then save
to remove any extraneous characters inserted by a microsoft OS. 
It is not always necessary, but sometimes! 

2) I've gotten an error like that if I download an app that is
compiled on unix, and then edit a few files on a windows system,
and try to remake it on windows. Obviously, the *.o files from 2
operating systems don't work together.  I'd try "make clean" or
"rm *.o" and try the build again, just to see what's up. From
the formatting of your shell.dat file, I  would have guessed you
are on a windows machine because the end of lines have the ^M,
which usually signals that "extra Microsoft stuff".  Maybe the
experts know other things.  Also, just for diagnostics, try to
compile the heatbugs program and see if it runs.
