Works for me. I had ctypesgen's at r147. I notice yours is at r151. I
updated to r151 and rebuilt and it still worked just fine.

Care to elaborate on what the problem or error message was?

Known issue.

Should be fixed with the removal of the -fwhole-program option in the next release.

I'd suggest that we start an independent thread on this. Because I suspect
it's going to be a much longer discussion.

Looks like we need to setup the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or add more paths to
-Djava.library.path for this to work properly on the Mac. Other platforms get
away with rpaths for this.

Can't replicate this problem and in fact I remember specifically fixing this
before 1.8.x branched. What error did you get?

Confirmed.
