  I'm currently working with the version of DJGPP that was ported  
back to NEXTSTEP as a DOS cross-compiler.  I'm running into a  
problem in which static string objects (ie, @"This is a string  
object") aren't getting constructed correctly.  The assembler  
produced to lay out the data for the object is correct, but the  
instance never gets its isa variable set and hence the objects just  
don't work.

  I've looked through the FAQ w/o any avail and I'm currently  
considering two really lame patches for this.  One that would be  
really slow, and one that would be fairly hard.

  I'm wondering if anyone has gotten this to work, or if anyone  
expects that this will work.
