Well I've tried building my own version of gcc-4.1.0 configured to use GNU ld, 
and I now get this error when compiling Swarm:

 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../src/swarm-2.2/libobjc -I. -I./objc 
-I../../../src/swarm-2.2/libobjc/objc -I../../../src/swarm-2.2/libobjc

Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.

Should I submit a bug report to gcc? In the meantime, should I build a 
different version of gcc? (My previous (short-lived) joy at compiling swarm 
successfully was based on a local installation of gcc-3.3, which probably 
wasn't configured with GNU ld.) Do you think I'll be OK with gcc-3.4.6? Or 
should I reconfigure Swarm with --disable-libobjc?
