Yes. Essentially once this code can load a few .o files, it can load any of them. The self build of gclcvs on the Debian autobuilders works the code heavily. > What is the relation of HEAD to 2.6.8pre? HEAD is 2.7.0, the active development version, where new features are added and ansi compliance is approached. When ready, we will release it as 2.8.0, following the Linux kernel numbering scheme. 2.6.x is the stable branch, critical bug fix only (more or less), for maxima, acl2, axiom, hol88 and nqthm support. > I have taken a brief look at this and am considering taking it on. > This would be most appreciated, and I'd be happy to lend assistance. Knowledge of the ia64 reloc definitions is obviously key, though I put together the alpha version mostly as a guesswork based on the mips example. If ia64 were done, we could also share with the lush project, on which the original sfaslbfd_mips was inspired. And someday it would be great to get this back into bfd upstream. The basic idea is that each section of the .o file has a got table appended to handle the relocs that refer to the special gp register value.
