jguillaumes@eeepc2jordi:~$ pdp11-aout-ld --version
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.22
I downloaded the last version from one of the gnu mirror sites.
Unfortunately, I can't remember which one. The error message I get is
this one:
jguillaumes@eeepc2jordi:~$ pdp11-aout-ld
pdp11-aout-ld:built in linker script:7: syntax error
It shows even when you invoke the linker without any parameters. I wrote
a small script to overcome this problem. It seems to work OK beyond this
issue. I'll have a look at that; I guess it's an easy fix to the linker
script. And maybe I'll find some time to also bake a simh-papertape
output bfd. Right now, binutils are building :) MfG, JBG
I thought for a moment about building the backend for BFD, but I have no
idea about how to do it (I never had to know about BFD nor ld backends
before :)), so I decided to write an a.out to papertape converter. It
was really easy, so for someone knowledgeable on BFD/ld it _could_ be
also easy to make that backend.
Of course, binutils is a widely used package, and the public interest of
being able to build paper tape images for a simulator of an almost dead
architecture is... debatable :) Of course, the fun factor already applies :)
