It seems that long file names are not supported by gcc for NY. Ie when I
write :
#include "longfilename.h"
a "file not found" error is produced; but the following works:
#include "longfi~1.h".
Until now I managed to stick with short file names, but I simply cannot
anymore [many files are automatically produced and need pretty explicit
names].

Has anyone any fix or hint? I noticed that there's no such problem with gcc
for PC. I'm thinking about digging into the source code for both versions
to see what I could do, but I'm not experienced in that kind of thing...
