Hmm, well, I looked at that already ;-) Is the problem cited above a
result of too long symbol names? Btw, I am using gnu make, so I'm
definitely not being effected by the VPATH bug. I'd rather not follow
the -fsquangle option too soon, since I'm not the sysadmin around here:
I don't want to hassle him if that's not the problem, especially since
it involves recompiling libstdc++ etc.

Incidentally, the assembler error with VTK was something like: constants
must be between -4096 and 4095.
