compiling a SWT-gui with gcj on windows

Hi JÃ¶rg,
(I'm posting this to java because these were gcj-linked apps.
If the discussion gets hot and heavy, we'll move it to binutils
soon.)

Actually, there is something you might be able to try
without my releasing a new build. I'd really appreciate
your looking into this:
- Start with my unchanged gcc33-20030722 build. Do
 a full build of your app. Verify that you get the
 "Error: 0-bit reloc in dll" error.
- Now get binutils-2.14.90-20030612-1.tar.gz from
 http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml Untar this
 to thisiscool-gcc/gcc-3.3/i686-pc-mingw32.
 Do a full build. Do you get the error? If not,
 does your app run okay?
- If so, retry with binutils-2.13.90-20021006-2.tar.gz and
 verify that the error disappears.
Ã˜yvind: could you try this too?

How does SWT under Sun's JRE fare with this?
