Hi, the following is imho, afair and probably wrong.
to do this fancy jump-around stuff, you need to know exactly where which snippet resides in ram - one error and all your work is lost. So, and because on gentoo everything is compiled by yourself with a little bit different setting like the next gentoo user, it is a lot harder to guess the correct adresses. Not like the binary distributions, where one is laid out like the other. -- [email protected] mailing list
