I guess you are talking about the work already contributed by Alexandre Oliva. The "simple solution" mentioned before was a part of it. The relocation handling is still horrible. > By the way, the 32-bit kernel could have an N32 mode added; it's > fairly straightforward to merge the bits currently in the 64-bit > kernel that you'd need. You'd also need a very modern glibc. It definitely can't. You are missing the fact that N32 has 64bit register widths. Thiemo
