Don Dugger of VA has looked at 64K page support.
- gcc doesnt support 64K alignment (perhaps I am using
an old gcc??)
Don reported an assembler problem. Is that perhaps what you meant?
In gas/read.c, function s_align, there is a check
if (align > 15)
{
align = 15;
as_bad (_("Alignment too large: %u assumed"), align);
}
I don't know why it is there. I would hypothesize limitations of old object
file formats like aout/coff. This problem has been reported on the
binutils@sources.redhat.com mailing list, but no one there volunteered to
look into the problem. This is still on my todo list, along with a lot of
more important stuff.
Jim
