This part goes well.

At this point I run into a problem. gcc exits and pukes out this message:

    ls.o(.text+0xeb):undefined reference to cvt_id
    gcc: Internal Compiler error:program got fata signal 1

Any idea what happened?

I also ran into another interesting problem. I was logged in as root and all
the source files had rw capabilities for sys.sys, and nothing for anyone
else(this is what I could interpret given my current knowledge of VSTa). So
I tried editing the file, but as soon as I typed 'i' in vi to insert some
text, it dropped into the debugger. I quit that and it returned me to the
command line, but when I tried typing in commands, I just got 'error 22'(or
something similar) as my only response.

I'm guessing server that handles the disk or filesystem exited because of
permission violation. Am I close? Wouldn't better behaviour be to simply
deny writing out the file, or is this a symptom of a deeper problem/bug?

Thanks for the help. :-)
