But presumably if the syscall table was previously in .text, it was not subject to this. And now it will be. I doubt this would actually break anything (as you've already confirmed), since it's only a tiny RAM usage increase, but unless there's some reason for the syscall table to be read-write it seems a bit odd. _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
