Thanks for your help Igor.
Actually I found the answer by googling for "___RUNTIME_PSEUDO_RELOC_LIST__". Someone had that problem fixed by upgrading to the latest binutils.
Ah, right, that would do it. Strangely enough, Googling for partial string ("RUNTIME_PSEUDO_RELOC") didn't work -- apparently Google does treat underscores as letters, and not as separators...
I checked and my binutils was a 2002<something> version while there is a 2004... one available.
What I can't understand is how an old 2002 version of binutils ended up on my system. I installed from scratch over the internet just before christmas umm.. maybe six weeks ago or so and I assumed I got the latest version of everything. I must have assumed wrong !?. (unless the subsequent kde installation set it back ??)
Your installation is only as up-to-date as your mirror. Plus, there may be *two* versions of binutils on your machine -- check your PATH.
I upgraded binutils to the 2004 version with setup and ext.c now compiles. I still get the "incompatible pointer type" warnings at the compilation stage but it links and creates the .dll with no complaints and the application starts up.
Did you check whether tcl.h gets included? If it is, it could be a bug in ext.c.
It does seem to behave funny, refusing to enter certain directories, but that I'll have to investigate separately.
Perhaps related to the above warnings? Igor
Perhaps a file in use problem when re-installing? It seems that I may have had that in the past, but never ran into significant problems that was so haven't investigated....
