[M3devel] more assembly symbols please?

[Jay]

MinGWin (GNU ld)
I might try putting together a totally Cygwin system to see if that works, to try to understand where the problem is.
This really shouldn't be so hard from the information I have though.. :(
Fishing with Cygwin should not be needed..
I can dump the ModuleInfo from C and I can see where the bad one is, I just need to trace through its creation to find where it goes bad...
I assume it is NOT related to the fact that assembly/object file names get truncated to 8 characters, RTHeapInfo.m3 => RTHeapIn.m3 but so far that's all I see to "what is special about RTHeapInfo?".
