Well, as I remember, the basic infrastructure that allowed to introduce alternate entry points late in the compilation (i.e. during prologue/epilogue generation) is in. We just got stuck precisely on making it working with the unwind info. (as I recall years back, Ihad patches that allowed us to skip the IP load in PIC mode and planned to follow with the register calling conventions). This is the -fPIC patch. http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/iv9U0XRCHosZ5bDh6Z6Q and this is apparently where we got stuck back then. http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/iv9U0byrEj0gzOKGqTtx Honza > > > r~
