[parisc-linux] PA-RISC User Land

[T. Martin]

 Hello, 
 I'll be more than happy to play in user land as soon as theres enough
stablility in the port. I've got 5 old HP-Apollos laying around. 
 Actually one is up and running been up for last 2.5 monthes with HP-UX
9.0 just waiting for a Linux port as trying to use HP-Unix is like pulling
teeth. 
 I don't have room for gcc on the machine is there a way to cross-compile
a kernel off an x86 machine? 
Terry,

Not just yet; Dave O'Neill is working on making the SOM linker
cross-platform friendly (I believe he has it working on HPUX, and now 
needs to squash endian-related bugs).  I'm sure he'd love a helping
hand...

Sure, if you're interested in taking a look, I'd love it.  The linker is
in CVS (under linker/).  

A little status update:  Right now, it manages to parse and load (possibly
even correctly) the object files, but it still chokes on libraries, and
doesn't yet output anything.
