Hello, The ELF specification states that table all local symbols in a symbol should precede all global symbols. mips-elf-as (binutils 2.20) disregards this rule. Can anyone explain to me the reason for this ? Pierre -- Pierre HABRAKEN - mailto:Pierre.Habraken@imag.fr Tél: 04 76 63 59 94 - Fax: 04 76 51 47 93
