Hi Alan, : And vice versa. Since OMAGIC should be used for object files, we : ought to continue to clear config.text_read_only for "ld -r". : : config.text_read_only clear : => WP_TEXT cleared in ldlang.c:ldlang_open_output : => o_magic selected in aoutx.h:adjust_sizes_and_vmas : : I've checked in the fix I posted earlier. Thanks. Cheers Nick
