Hi, First ... i'm so excited to replay my old strife cdrom under linux .. that i am doing a chroot32 on my gentoo amd64 box only for use your software :p Really thanks .. But WE have problems (users of gentoo) with gcc 4.1 for compile it under amd64 (i know that gcc 4.1 is not ready and you may have other things to do for improve this software than adapt it to unsupported compilers). It could be really cool if you can adapt it to gcc 4.1 (and again sorry because i know that this kind of request is a little out of subject .... Thanks again and good work ^^

What's the problem? I've been using gcc 4.1.1 for some time now without problems.
