AMIGA.LIB is available from CATS (Commodore Amiga Technical Services) and
also comes with lattice and Manx compilers.  It contains stubs for the
various OS routines that are detailed in the Rom Kernel Manuals.

Dunno why GCC locks up on you.  Sounds like a pretty hard crash to me.  My
first guess is that GCC is missing something it needs to link to.

The amiga.lib file should come with the PDC distribution. I think its
their own reverse engineered AMIGA.LIB that C= sends out. I also had
my hello world program crash. It eventually turned out that my acrt0.o
(or something like that) file was bad. Its size was smaller than the one
used by other people that had GCC working. So I got the PDC asm source
for it and compiled it with A68k. The resulting .o was the right size and
no more crashes!

So give it a try!

	amiga.lib C is copyright CBM. Manx and SAS both have to
pay Commodore for the right to distribute it and the Amiga
include files.

The *generation* of the PDC Amiga.lib is OK. The distribution of the
result publicly is not necessarily OK (unless they check that the
receiver also is the owner of an Amiga Extras disk), as it clearly is
a derived work of the AmigaBasic .fd files as found on every Extras
disk. The distribution of a program that creates an amiga.lib from the
same files is perfectly legit, though.

    If it is generated from scratch from the FD files, with other incidental
    routines written by the PDC people, then it is publically distributable.

    If it is the commodore-supplied amiga.lib, then it is not.

    MANX, SAS, Myself (DICE), and a few other people have licensed the
    amiga includes and amiga.lib from Commodore but we cannot distribute
    them publically either, only as part of a product.
