The linker seems to be the tricky part. I ended up temporarily in removing .weak support from the assembler. Simply replace the function in gas' source code by a dummy. (Look around there, there's a table where the pseudo-ops are being resolved, you have to patch the function handling .weak's there.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
