Hello all,

	I have recently decided to take the plunge into V2 gcc but I have 
a major problem.  Nothing will compile, link, or do anything at all!  If 
I do a compile with the -v switch I get all the guff at the start with 
the search list etc.  but then it just hangs.  There is a little bit of 
disk activity for a while, then all goes quiet, I have left it there for 
hours but to no avail.  If I do the same whilst running a DOS box from 
Win 95, it works okay occasionly, but it wont run the linked program :)
Using the debugger shows the program crashing before it reaches any code 
I have produced!!

	Please help me out here cause I was hoping to use V2 to upgrade 
my VESA library into Linear Framebuffer usage, which I couldn't get to 
work in V1.  

	Brief machine description:

		AMD 486DX4-100 overclocked to 120Mhz
		8Mb RAM
		256kb Cache (I think :()
		1Gb HD

	All pretty basic stuff (although the motherboard may be stuffed).

	Thanx for any help

		Steve
