Hey! Could you link me to some code that you used for the Deos setup you mentioned? My understanding is that the -shared option can link static archives to create a "shared" library in the sense that it doesn't include the usual crt0 runtime environment and whatnot, but the code within is still

Hey! Skippable details about how FreeBSD handles the UEFI boot process! Having looked into it a bit more, my understanding of how FreeBSD handles this process is: - They build a two-stage bootloader for EFI, called
