This is a lot more complex. qemu does some extremely unorthodox things with object code, and gcc has changed the way it does its stuff. The first thing it broke on was that qemu assumed that the final instruction in a function in ELF code was ret (0xc3), which apparently isn't necessarily true anymore. The gods only know what else, but there seems to be patches floating around for it --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
