Follow-up on me...I should have been more resilient!

I reconfigured gnupg with the following flags:

  --disable-nls --with-included-gettext \
  --enable-static-rnd=egd --disable-asm

and used gcc version egcs-2.91.66 (egcs-1.1.2 release) rather
than the irix native C compiler.

After I compiled the rsa and idea modules using:

gcc -Wall -O2 -shared -fPIC -o rsa rsa.c
gcc -Wall -O2 -shared -fPIC -o idea idea.c

and lo and behold it now works!

Can someone shed some light on what is going on here?

Thanks
