I could just as easily use glibc, right? uClibc has very little assembler and is very portable. I can't comment on assembler in glibc as I haven't played there recently. > Another question: has anyone tried to use non-relocatable (non-PIC) execs > with uClinux?

The coldfire port doesn't use PIC code, it relocates the executables at execution time. It costs you a little in RAM but it works quite well. If you want examples on how this is done just download the latest coldfire package from: http://www.moretonbay.com/coldfire/source.html Probably best to get the unstable release, it is a lot more recent :-) Also be sure to get the elf2flt and genromfs utilities, Cheers, Davidm -- David McCullough: Ph: +61 7 3435 2815 Lineo (The Embedded Solutions Company) davidm@lineo.com Fx: +61 7 3891 3630 PO Box 925, Kenmore QLD 4069, Australia This message resent by the uclinux-dev@uclinux.org list server http://www.uClinux.org/
