If you will have time for newbie, to explain in a few words, what is it need for (whole idea, or key detail), and, maybe, why it is generated so ... interestingly: asm-offsets.c -> *.s -> *.h (but this looks like interconnecting C and assembler, obviously) I will glad to help providing solution maybe somewhat earlier (well, i'm trying to understand whole building process, if that matters). .... And, of course, if this q isn't dumb. Thanks. ____
