Options -

1. Remove the shared libobjc from your system so you link with the 
static version of the library.

2. Remove all libobjc from your system and install and use the one from 
the GNUstep ftp site or cvs.

3. Remove all libobj versions from your system, and install and use 
gcc-3 and use its libobjc.


While 3 is the most work, it's also the better solution as gcc-3 is a 
much better compiler and
its libobjc is much more up to date.  Actually, if you can get a good 
3.1 snapshot that should
be best, as it produces significantly faster code.
