While I haven't tried it (Linux not yet having been ported to the
Omnibook), presumably Linux' native libgcc.a will do the job here. For
that matter, why wouldn't lib/libgcc.a from
omnigate.clarkson.edu:/pub/msdos/djgpp/djdev110.zip work as well? Ar
on my Sun has no trouble unpacking .o's from this libgcc.a, don't know
if the byte order is the right way round though.
