One last time, very slowly: I encourage you to fix this. But you need to know that the bulk of the work is not in changing build-prc. To achieve what you want, you need to change the way m68k-palmos GCC generates code for function calls. > The GCC code is too hard for understanding. As you say, this will not be easy. But the source code -- to the m68k-palmos inter-section function calls, build-prc, and everything else in prc-tools -- is available in CVS at http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/ Good luck. Palm-dev-forum is not an appropriate mailing list for these discussions. If you are serious, please come over to the prc-tools maintainers mailing list [1], but be warned that, by necessity, that list has a low tolerance for time sinks. Even more so than here, if you want an answer you will need to demonstrate that you will understand it.

IMHO this is a great mindset. Somebody has something they'd like GCC to do, and so they implement it. I think this is how most people became involved in free software. It's certainly how I got involved with GCC. > The odds are certainly against you. However, in Michael's case, based on the current evidence, I'm not going to hold my breath. :-) John [1] The first test is _finding_ the mailing list. :-) -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
