If this can be hidden in a run-time support library that is automatically linked in, then it is still not a big deal to write it in assembly. In this case, you are tinkering with the specs file for your target which I personally think is easier that changing the code generation. But if there are lots of system libraries that follow this convention (you have only mentioned a few routines), then I guess you are stuck. --joel Joel Sherrill Director of Research & Development joel@OARcorp.com On-Line Applications Research Ask me about RTEMS: a free RTOS Huntsville AL 35805 Support Available (256) 722-9985 _______________________________________________ New CrossGCC FAQ: http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC _______________________________________________ To remove yourself from the crossgcc list, send mail to crossgcc-request@cygnus.com with the text 'unsubscribe' (without the quotes) in the body of the message.
