>From my quick reading of it it doesn't look like it does. Did you have any other mangler changes apart from the ones in that patch? I recall you saying that you had something to not strip the .note.GNU-stack thing. If you can't find it, don't worry, I don't expect it's too hard for us to make the change again. It can't be that hard... ;-) Simon: for the mangler we think it really is as simple as making it not strip a line starting with ".note.GNU-stack". We have not yet investigated the splitter but I expect it'll be somewhat more tricky. We probably need to make it add the line to the end of every output .s file if it occurs in the original .s file. > Note that other fixes are still needed to get a fully registerised build > of ghc for alpha, but this is a first step. Sure, for the 6.6 release it's just the GNU stack stuff I was interested in. We can come back to the alpha patches some time.
