Oh, if we just link the target binary as a data section into the host binary, then I see no problems in that, it seems absolutely feasible with the existing infrastructure. I just thought (seemingly it was incorrect) that we're speaking about linking of target code with the host code. > > And the question about multi-target support here still remains open. > > Many questions are still open -- but I'm glad there is activity on this > topic, and I'm sure we'll be able to converge with the designs we have or > are currently developing. Thanks, I'm sure in that too:) Best regards, Michael > Thomas
