    I use to have automated FreeBSD builds from CVS, but I stopped running
    them several months ago when I started getting errors about an
    explicitly linked libc and couldn't track down the source of the
    problem. I sent a note to this list on 11 Jan 2002 to that effect.
    This problem occurred on all of my FreeBSD platforms (4.2,4.3,4.5) and
    was at that time preventing Abi from linking properly, so that it
    segfaulted at execution.
    Recently I tried again, and although I still get the same errors when
    linking, I do not see -lc on the link line and the resulting linked
    binary seems to work all right.
    These problems only occur on the gnome build; gtk has no problems.

    I can upload TGZs of RC1 now, and eventually 1.0 if there is an interest
    in them.
