If you guys are investigating new binutils and new object file formats, then now is a good time to invest in developing a re-linkable executable file format. ELF may be a good starting point; as noted already you can put whatever sections you want into an ELF file. You could try keeping the ELF .relo section and just append it to the TOS file image, with an appropriate pointer to it in the standard TOS symbol table. -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc OpenLDAP Core Team http://www.openldap.org/project/
