Even if this is intended to be amd64 code, built as `nasm -f elf64'? IIUC, you replaced `db' (``define byte'') and `dq' (``define quadword'', that should be 8 bytes) with `dd' (``define double word'', that is 4 bytes, 32 bit). So the section only contains now `dd's. I can't understand the ``NetBSD string'', which is the concatenation of the 6 characters `NetBSD', the NULL character, and `$'. Is this a conventional string? Where can I find it? Also, in the code comments, it is stated to be ``8 bytes'' and it is in the first version of your code, but now it is only 6 bytes, `NetBSD'. Is it the same? > And, looking at the > nasm docs. suggests that sections can be annotated to match what > the toolchain adds, This is better: [...] > +section .note.netbsd.ident note alloc noexec nowrite align=4 You added `note alloc noexec nowrite align=4'. I didn't know much about the toolchain, so I'm not able to understand well these new strings. By `nasm docs' you refer to the manpage nasm(1)? Bye! Rocky
