I was even aware of such an issue, but I overlooked the fact that msei18n
creates some modules within the language directories, and I didn't clean up
those properly. I did it for the first one, but then it failed on the
second one... Only after cleaning up all of them did it work correctly.

Yes, this might be a good place - but only if the settings are inherited by
new projects as well. if this worked, it should even be placed there by
default.

No script used here, just the built-in compiler call plus the "-fPIC"
additional switch.
But my extensions for command-line control also seem to work now, after a
minor modification concerning closing the message window. I didn't make it
omit the GUI completely, because I intended to use it as a "tool", called
from the IDE's "tools" menu. I commonly use two other entries, a "strip"
call (for Linux) and a "clean" script that removes the host of compiler
intermediate files (.o, .ppu and such).

Ok, then it won't cause any troubles on windows. Android (if used there at
all, or is this a cross compiler only?) might be another matter.
BTW, what about usage of this list? It seems to be dead & gone, except for
your replies and my desperate postings here...
Should I better use the (new) nabble one? Then I ought to find out how to
register there using a non-existent utility that isn't shown...
Thank you for your reply. I will try to upload the modified msei18n project
(and the other ones I mentioned before) when I'll found how to do this -
none of my attempts up to now seem to have succeeded, not even a direct
email to you...
