Well, with sources or not, I guess I will be able to fix this anyways.
Having the source code (which should be ported anyways to a compiler
before doing anything else) would only have the advantage of easy
identification of the DATA/BSS variables. I have already identified a lot
of them anyways. And a lot of routines, including the ones which probably
come from the statically linked specific Holger's library. I can't say the
library - or at least the functions linked - are terribly unusual: strcpy,
strcat, strlen, AES and VDI primitives etc.

As for the code analyzis, I don't see any difference between C and
assembler.

Of course, it would be great if blyp could replace the ST-Guide
completely. In this case I will drop hacking ST-Guide and would be rather
willing to contribute to the blyp.
