That might work. But I suspect you will run into issues with ".org backwards", ie. running out of space in head_64.S But try it and let me know if it works. I think we also need to write a script or little C program which looks at the vmlinux and checks that nothing below __end_whatever does a direct branch. So that we don't break it again in future. cheers _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
