Your problem is that you are trying to declare a *static* class
variable dnaPool (0) that takes a constructor.  This is currently
illegal in cfront 1.2 (and in some versions of G++).  cfront 2.0 lifts
this restriction somewhat and I assume G++ will also handle this
properly in subsequent releases (in fact, it may already handle it
correctly).
