Looks like your copy of cc/gcc is generating n32 object files; you<br>
should definitely stick to o32 for now (gcc only supports this model).<br>

I'll have a look at your changes to sanei_scsi.c and see if I can see<br>
what's gone wrong with all the changes since 0.63 (I think that was the<br>
first version my SCSI additions made it in...)<br>
<p>
BTW, I'll have a precompiled distribution for SANE 0.69 available<br>
sometime this week once I get things tested fully.<br>
