Nah, ld is warranted. I've posted a patch somewhat recently to add uImage support that would fit in as well. Geoff had mentioned an interest in adding support to each of the loaders rather than just 5l. On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 10:58 PM, lu...@proxima.alt.za wrote: elf.c and elf.h are

Indeed, I should have mentioned that Andrey Mirtchovski did a port at a time when p9p didn't have etimer(3) yet. http://mirtchovski.com/p9/clock/ A while ago I had trouble compiling that one, but I don't recall the details. At some point etimer was added to p9p, allowing for a port of clock
