You shouldn't use the Developer Edition - the compiler that comes with
it is broken, you should either use the R5 compiler, or rather, the one
found on geekgadgets.

To correctly build OpenBeOS, you need two things:
1) an updated "ld" which can be downloaded from our website.
http://open-beos.sourceforge.net/dev.php
2) a custom jam build, which you can either download from our website
(might be outdated), or just build it from the repository (under src/
tools/jam)
Good luck!
Bye,
Axel.
