Before someone takes that the wrong way - Richard Earnshaw worked on porting binutils + gcc to the ARM architecture. I worked on converting that toolchain to work for ARM Linux - supporting the a.out shared libraries and other Linux specific features. Changing the ABI was, and still is completely outside my level of knowledge of gcc. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 Serial core ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
