My only comparison is elf.h header in HP/UX 11. And this header introduces completely different definitions for the same names. Something which of course should be avoided under all circumstances. I thin the first question to be answered is: which relocations must be supported. The answer has two parts: the minimal set and the complete set. I don't know the HPPA specifics, I only know ELF in general. -- ---------------. drepper at gnu.org ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Cygnus Solutions `--' drepper at cygnus.com `------------------------
