I upgraded my snapshot of the GAS assembler from "950426" to "950627", and for C source code, it apparently is working fine (no careful testing of this, however). For assembly source code, of which I have 2 files, one builds OK and when linked gives a somewhat different executable format, and the other one (part of a bigger program) won't even build. My configuration is "--target=i386-gnu", using the GCC 2.6.3 compiler as a front end (i.e. run with files ending in ".S" instead of ".s" so I can use the C pre-processor). Problem #1 (LD output format somewhat different): I'm using the "-N" option to force a predictable 32-byte a.out header with no other page alignment, which has worked fine until recently. it is now producing a much larger header, and aligns the output to a page- boundary, so my forced text start address of hex 7c00 produces an output file where the text starts at location hex c00 in the file (aligned for demand paging, obviously). I can work around this easily enough... it is just somewhat disturbing to have it change, especially since I thought the 'OMAGIC' format was supposed to only use a 32-byte header with no other padding. Problem #2 (GAS aborts build): On the "950426" version, everything compiles/assembles/links/runs just fine. The "950627" version (along with a few earlier versions I tried), produces this result for my assembly source file in my bigger program: ---------(start error)--------- /var/tmp/cc028269.s: Assembler messages: /var/tmp/cc028269.s:911: Error: Can not do 2 byte relocation /var/tmp/cc028269.s:911: Fatal error: Cannot generate relocation type for symbol .text, code (null) ----------(end error)---------- Line number 911 is the end of the file, which leaves me confused. -- Erich Stefan Boleyn \_ E-mail (preferred): <erich@uruk.org> Mad Genius wanna-be, CyberMuffin \__ home #: +1 (503) 226-0741 <A HREF=http://www.uruk.org/>WWW Site</A> \_ USnail: 924 S.W. 16th Ave, #202 Motto: "I'll live forever or die trying" \ Portland, OR, USA 97205
