Hmm.
As far as I am concerned it is a bug.
It might not cause the program to crash, but as it requires me (and
other people) to employ extra measures (other than that required due to
the OSLib changes) to ensure successful compilation of the source code,
I class it as a bug.

objasm's help text says:
-I <dir>[,<dir>]        Include <dir>s on the source file search path
which doesn't solve my problem:
do objasm -desktop ^ -depend !Depend -throwback -nocache  -I SCSI::Mouse.$.Apps.Program.Libraries.OSLib.OsLib.OSLib.,SCSI::Mouse.$.Apps.Program.Libraries.OSLib.OsLib. Gadgets.s.WriteBump o.WriteBump

Tried that before I tried the above. No difference.
