Hi,
thanks for your quick reply.
I must say, I am quite puzzled by the need to do this change. What
is so special on kfreebsd-*, that makes it necessary to name the
file-format differently ?
It is due to different kernel, with different ABI and different default for ld.
The intermediate .o files are built by gcc according to standard ABI for given
OS.
On Linux/i386, the current standard OUTPUT_FORMAT is elf32-i386
and on FreeBSD/i386 it is elf32-i386-freebsd.
The main reason for change of memtest_shared.lds is that linking of
memtest_shared have to be done with compliance to previous
"-fPIC" and so on. It have to correctly resolve i.e. _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.
With regards
Petr
