Hi,
as it seems we are building the amd64 loader in i386 compatible
mode (compiling -m32...)
This breaks the building of testmain in sys/boot/ficl at least
as -m32 doesnt seem to be well supported until now on amd64.
Wouldn't is be possible to switch to 64bit long mode in the
boot0 loader and building the /boot/loader using the amd64
native formats?
(Like the way we switch to protected mode in btx)
(I'm trying to use and upgrade our ficl loader BTW)
BTW2: Our sys/boot hierarchy isn't very intuitive to start with...
Bye/2
