My futzing on mframe dug out some bugs in gcc-3.3.x on PowerPC (and 
probably other RISC cpus) relating to the builtin functions in 
particular __builtin_return and __builtin_apply_args.

These are known to the gcc folks and have been patched in the CVS in 
recent weeks.  They are slated for the 3.4 release.  The relevant 
bugzilla numbers with patches are 11151, 12503 and 12629.

I do not know if these will stop GNUStep building.  They will certainly 
brake anything (Distributed Objects?) that uses mframe.

I hope to post a fixed compiler binary in the next couple of days.  If 
folks here are interested, I will post a link.
