	Yes - sometimes when you don't do a g_type_init this sort of thing
happens - but we do that in linc2/src/linc.c so ...

	Get a stack trace from the first warning (break point in g_logv) and
have a dig around. I suspect it may be related to GType sizes. The GType
type has to be a pointer type size - and there are a number of int <->
pointer type cast things going on in the background. Possibly that's
running into ARM's cunning integer handling (?).

	Right; we need a trace really. clearly everything works fine here :-)
Another thing that may cause you grief, and is crucial to get right for
the ORB to work is:

	ORBit2/include/orbit/orbit-config.h

	includes a load of ORBIT_ALIGNOF_CORBA_FLOAT - and that sort of thing,
that is highly platform specific, and has to be right for ORBit2 to work
at all on your architecture.

	HTH,

		Michael.
