[Freemint-list] Interesting talk about non-mmu stuff

[Ryan Daum]

Interesting talk, but one thing he doesn't mention is that it's possible to
load plain ELF binaries with a non-MMU system as long as you link them with
relocation sections baked in. Then the binary loader walks the relocation
instructions and fixes up the addresses in a manner similar to how program
loading happens in pgmld01/pgfix01 in GEMDOS right now. The downsides are
really big binaries and slow loading times. I have written code to do this
as a patch on top of emutos, and can load and relocate a gcc produce
binary. but execution is not quite working yet. I'm working on it though.
