We've been able to develop a (complex) workaround for the VM layout problems in userspace by inserting a shim between the dynamic linker and the kernel. It sets up the address space correctly before the linker runs so, for now, Wine will be alright without the patch - assuming we can get the shim merged with Wine CVS of course :) It would be nice to get the bssprot patch in though, if only because a GNU linker script would be about 100x smaller and less scary than the shim code. thanks -mike -- Mike Hearn Codeweavers, Inc
