Maybe a simple bug in relocation stuff, or something binutils maintainers did not bother to test, as main targets don't use a.out format. > - Someone does he work on a decent GCC port ( with working C++ > compiler)? First, we could run the 'make bootstrap' and the various g++ testsuite that comes with gcc to check what is broken or not (big hard disk space needed, and cpu hours). I think we should use a real atari for this, because an emulator could have a cpu/fpu emulation bug. > - Someone does he work on the shareable libraries? Maybe it should be possible to load/relocate .a library files (guido, frank?). The problem is that .a files don't have versioning (i.e. like so library name on linux). > - Someone does he work on the virtual memory support? The problem with sharing libraries, is that once a shared lib is loaded/relocated, all program that use it must access it through the same virtual address. Or the library should be made position independant. -- Patrice Mandin WWW: http://membres.lycos.fr/pmandin/ Programmeur Linux, Atari Spécialité: Développement, jeux
