Yes, but we're missing some pieces for it at the moment -- like the elf64 header files. Just putting in ELF support for the i386 without trashing the system is right up against the limit of how much complexity my feeble brain can deal with at one time. I am trying to leave _room_ for alpha, but I'm not actually trying to _support_ alpha yet. That will come after the ELF dust has settled. BTW, thanks for the binutils diff. I'll hang onto it. I don't want to put it in quite yet, because Peter and Soren have their hands full enough already without any further disruptions in the toolset. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D.
