Well, it could certainly be compiled for a gcc2hybrid (ala R1/Alpha1)
target easily enough, right? (I think you use setgcc gcc4 to switch
compilers, right?)
This is why targetting "official" releases is far more sane than just
throwing something out there and expecting users to figure out how to
make it work.
To make it worse, there was even an ABI change since R1/Alpha1 that
will require anything linking to BJoystick to be recompiled again -
which may include some games - so that introduces another possible
compatibility issue between R1/Alpha 1 and trunk builds.
Ultimately, this is what you can expect from an incomplete product
(definition of Alpha)...
