That would help very much!!

That sounds like part of what we saw when trying to install gcc 
at jwac, that debugging wasn't supported.  But, besides that,
the C and C++ still worked but the ObjC did not.  I take it you
didn't do anything special to get ObjC to work?

A binary for gcc and Swarm would be great!  All you need to do 
is run make in the Swarm directory as follows:

   make LDCONFIG=bin

That is, assuming you've got your Makefile.conf set up so that
a make in the Swarm directory is done with a simple "make" and
not a "make SETUP=xyz".  If you have a macro like that defined,
then just do a "make SETUP=xyz LDCONFIG=bin".

Thanks!
