Re: Loading an elf file

Here's an excerpt from the linker script we use, could you please
comment on what's missing?


On a machine such as i686 or x86_64, run "ld -verbose" to see a default
linker script.  Pay attention to ALIGN commands and other expressions
involving ". &", such as these and others:
  /* Adjust the address for the data segment.  We want to adjust up to
     the same address within the page on the next page up.  */
  . = ALIGN (CONSTANT (MAXPAGESIZE)) - ((CONSTANT (MAXPAGESIZE) - .) & (CONSTANT (MAXPAGESIZE) - 1));
  . = DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN (CONSTANT (MAXPAGESIZE), CONSTANT (COMMONPAGESIZE));
  .sharable_data   : ALIGN(CONSTANT (MAXPAGESIZE))
  .lrodata   ALIGN(CONSTANT (MAXPAGESIZE)) + (. & (CONSTANT (MAXPAGESIZE) - 1)) :
