I don't know why they are different, but this probably shouldn't be a 
problem.

This obviously is the problem - the linker cannot find the object 
file this way. :-((( I can reproduce it, but finding time for 
debugging it and fixing it will probably take some time (mostly due 
to time constraints on my side :-( ). Fortunately, the workaround of 
using the command line compiler works well so this shouldn't be a 
show-stopper (although it certainly isn't pleasant :-( ).

Thanks for letting me know about it. I suggest that you file a 
standard bug report (not that I expect anyone else to fix it if the 
problem is restricted to the OS/2 version, but it becomes visible for 
other users who may come across the problem too this way at least).
