You're probably right. As far as I can remember[1], the main issue is that Fedora Core 3 introduced a randomization of libc mappings that impact the way GCL is saving its image. So, in that particular case, the feature to detect is randomized mapping of libraries. Best wishes, d. [1] The Makefile.pamphlet says "Fedora Core 3 needs special GCL options for local bfd." but it does not say *why* the local bfd is necessary. Writting good doc is probably as hard as writting good code. :-( _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
