I see no reason why such a definitive "no" should be here :-) If someone can tell me in which register (or where) the GOT should be upon loading the executable and stuff like relocation types (I guess I can find most of them in binutils' code) then it's all fixed. I don't think kernels are *that* different for sparc and mips. > > Ralf -- Sincerely yours, Michael Shmulevich ______________________________________ Software Developer Jungo - R&D email: michaels@jungo.com web: http://www.jungo.com Phone: 1-877-514-0537(USA) +972-9-8859365(Worldwide) ext. 233 Fax: 1-877-514-0538(USA) +972-9-8859366(Worldwide)
