Thank you both, howard an graham.
I'll give the first try to the recompile-C-lib-method.

But there's a problem: While I found the project 'MSL C.PPC.MTrgt.mcp', 
I haven't found one for Carbon (MSL C.Carbon.Lib). 
Where is it?

And a another question (regarding pool_alloc.mac.c):
Is it legal to free every pointer in __sys_free(...) where 
MPGetAllocatedBlockSize(ptr) returns not NULL ? 
And free the remaining with DisposePtr(ptr)?


thanks in advance,
karsten
