-Subject: dynamic loading on NeXTSTEP

-These are the steps that I took to get dynamic loading working under NeXTSTEP  
-(3.3 m68k, i486) for Python1.4beta3 (including the Numeric stuff).   
-Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the configure scripts, so I don't  
-know how to fix these things properly, but this works for me.  I would be  
-interested in how other people have done this as well.

-Wow, I guess I was overzealous with the optimizations.  Upon further
-testing, I discovered that the Numeric stuff did not work properly on
-Intel machines, but did work properly on m68k.  I dropped the
-optimization to -O2 (leaving out the -fschedule-insns2), and it seems
-to behave properly on both architectures now.
-
-So,
-
-make "OPT=-O2 -ObjC -arch m68k -arch i486"
-
-looks like a better choice.
-
-Sorry for the misguidance,
