This is the first baby step to being able to port the system.

Done.

Compiled r36-noasm3 using mingw32-3.4.4

One issue is that GCC misses empty base class optimisations sometimes, so some
changes will be needed to guard against it. For instance, global cache lookups.

The interpreter looks stable. Compiled code shows worse stability, i suppose 
because
of wrong layout assumptions (empty base classes shifting the layout of all 
subclasses)

Here is r36-noasm4, compiles under GCC 4.1 on debian etch, with the exception of
os_*.cpp files

Do the new crashes that occur happen in the compiler itself, the compiled code, 
or
elsewhere in the VM?  Although the compiler is the hardest part of the system 
to work
on, it would be very nice to have a deterministic (script based) test that fails
under the new system but not under the old one.  That might help a lot in 
determining
the problem, since otherwise a new compiler bug might be very hard to isolate.  
But
it might be a while before we have the expertise to do much hacking on the 
compiler.

Er, I can't download this file either. Prunedtree, could you please upload it
somewhere again?

ok, it's alright now. I have managed to download it (after about 10 attempts).
