Awesome explanation thanks! And I noticed I strayed too far from the
example given to me by the 32 bit macppc code. I corrected that and I got
this:
...
ld -N -Ttext 100114 -e start --warn-common -nopie -o bsd ${SYSTEM_HEAD} vers.o
${OBJS}
text data bss dec hex
6367624 2074912 671936 9114472 8b1368
mv bsd bsd.gdb
ctfstrip -S -o bsd bsd.gdb
ct4#
So the very first cross-compiled kernel. I doubt it works but its so tempting
to put it on. I need a 64 bit loader anyhow so I'll work on that for a bit,
I hope I can reuse the macppc loader. Finally I'm able to test code with the
compiler! This is often a great help to me.
I've committed everything that wasn't committed in my aim64 and powerpc64 tree
and with this change which I'll commit in a sec there should be at least the
compilable sources (buggy or not).
Best Regards,
