Question: did you use gcc (as in the original post) or NeXT's cc
(which is their version of gcc ;-) )? A common thread I've seen
lately on several groups is build problems using gcc.

I always use NeXT's cc because one can not even build a valid gcc (other than
NeXT's!) on an HP NS machine. You can build gcc on a NeXT but not an HP ...
Yesterday someone posted that it works for them but I have not gotten to test
what they posted. The only difference between what they posted and what I did
was that they were using spam.o and I was using spammodule.o.
My original basic question was: "When building Python for the NeXT, do I need
to do anything in configure to enable the dynamic stuff, or does it *just
happen*?"
