Yes. This pretty much boils down to: - checking all structures. - checking all syscalls against libc compiled (and then disassembled) tests,paying particular attention to the ones with 64-bit types. - Creating startup code, which can be easiest done by modifying the makefiles in /usr/src/lib/csu and below to compile with -O2 -S, compile and then strip libc initialisation and finalisation from the result. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
