        To whom it may concern,

        I think your program is excellent, and it is proving very handy
except for one perhaps critical thing. I can compile multiple ".c" files
into their respective ".o" files easy enough.. but when I go to link them
into an ".exe" I without fail run into the error message:

 "..    Error: C:\GCC\BIN/ld.exe: cannot open -lgcc: File Format not
recognized .."

        Now.. "GCC" is the directory i have placed rhide.. All i can figure
is that ld.exe is looking for a file named "-lgcc" *sighs* I have looked
throughout my makefiles and project options and I cannot find reference to
-lgcc, I have also looked through all combinations of the "addprefix -l" and
have also re-written the entire linking command line to its most basic form
within the makefile... still.. to run into this error.

        I got this development kit from two friends allready using it.. and
for them its working fine. So I can only guess Im doing something wrong.
        I've looked through all the helpfiles I am able, writing this is
probably the last option to me, can you please help me out?

        Yours Sincerely,
                Robert Jacob.
