Believe it or not, the scintilla-test.rb example core dumps (actually
most do, now that I try them), yet FreeRIDE *does* work.  Well, until I
try to use the debugger anyway, at which point it dies with an
"incompatible marshal file format" error:

redist/drb/drb.rb:124:in `load': incompatible marshal file format (can't
be read) (TypeError)

I only posted to the foxgui-users list, though I probably should have
posted to both, but since I'm not actually on the FreeRIDE mailing list
yet...
In any case, I felt the ld/fox issue and the ELF warning warranted
posting to foxgui-users.  Of course, I'm guessing that the ELF warning
is a FOX/gcc/ld issue and not FXRuby or FXScintilla, but that's just a
gut feeling at the moment.

PS - I cross posted this time.  Hope that's ok - I'm not up on
cross-posting etiquette (because I almost never do it).
