Hi, I have recently started playing with the Tiny C Compuler (lang/tcc) which is amazingly useful for prototyping, but has problem generating non-static binaries in FreeBSD -- basically it produces a bogus elf file which our loader does not like. Static binaries work fine, as well as 'tcc -run ' (compile and run on the fly -- you should really try it if you haven't yet). There is an open PR on this http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=138481 and the problem is known upstream but no fix http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/tinycc-devel/2005-07/msg00070.html However, from the description it does not seem a horribly hard problem. Perhaps someone with a bit of knowledge on how our ld-elf.so works should not have a hard time pinpointing the problem so that other people can fix it ? Any takers ? cheers luigi
