Hi Jan,

We have a new gtk makefile which calls gcc instead of driving the linker
ld 'manually'. This should incidentally fix your problem.

I'd recommend you use this new makefile.

libswt-gnome.so is used for the org.eclipse.swt.program.Program api, when
running Eclipse on a gnome desktop (e.g. to find which app is binding to a
particular extension). It is not strictly required to run SWT apps.
