Re: [AArch64] nosys.specs and printf


Well at least _write is here:

af@af-ubuntu16-vm:~/aarc64-none-elf/bin$ ./aarch64-none-elf-gcc
--specs=nosys.specs test.c
af@af-ubuntu16-vm:~/aarc64-none-elf/bin$ ./aarch64-none-elf-objdump
-dS a.out | grep -A15 \(_write,
_DEFUN (_write, (file, ptr, len),
        int   file  _AND
        char *ptr   _AND
        int   len)
{
  errno = ENOSYS;
  407acc:       d0000080        adrp    x0, 419000 <object.5047+0x18>
  407ad0:       52800b01        mov     w1, #0x58                       // #88
  407ad4:       b9006801        str     w1, [x0, #104]
  return -1;
}
  407ad8:       12800000        mov     w0, #0xffffffff                 // #-1
  407adc:       d65f03c0        ret

0000000000407ae0 <_exit>:
#include <_syslist.h>



And it is worked before (when warning been appeared on link stage) -
main called for printf() and of course nothing were printed out. But
further execution didn't fails.
