Re: [MiNT] obsolete aout binutils?

Hi
Are you sure this is possible? The biggest problem of the MiNT port of 
the binutils was to remember all relocations and write the relocation 
information table that is needed by the Atari format (it's even not 
unix a.out).
No I'm not sure. I'm not that experienced with these Unix binary 
formats. Its hard to find a good explanation for these on the web. All I 
know comes from sources on the web. I.e. at 
http://www.mcvax.org/~koen/uClinux-cisco2500/exotica.html it's written 
that uClinux on coldfire processor uses relocation table in the flat 
binary.
Also you can read at 
http://www.gsp.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=5&topic=elf about "relocation 
section". So I think ELF doesn't forget about this information.
Perhaps there are numerous different ELF variants? (Linux, FreeBSD, 
Sun,...)
I've found this: http://www.x86.org/ftp/manuals/tools/elf.pdf
It has 'Relocation' in it. I'm begin to read.
