Well, the elf loader in BeOs is quite weak anyway...
What exactly is broken in there ?

I'm not sure I see in what way that's related to gcc...

Btw, I noted with bash that readline has some issues when it comes
to multibyte char handling (UTF8).
Say you type:
ls Préfé
and hit backspace, of course it only deletes the last byte of
the last char which is a 2-bytes one. Also, the display is
shifted by one char each time.
Do you know if there is a fix for that in recent readline ?
It's not really a bug but it's annoying.
François.
