Subject: Re: IBM S/370 and binutils
Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 18:27:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <003401bf2275$bc5d1c80$4181e3d8@duczen--lap.hannaford.com> (raw)

You should be able to get an ABI from Amdahl Corporation, through UTS
Technical Support. I have contacted a Chris A. Swartout
(cas30@oes.amdahl.com), who verified that the value of EM_S370 (9) is used
for IBM System/370 Processors. This value still exists in the binutils
source (/binutils/include/elf/common.h).
I have had the value officially registered with SCO (registry@sco.com). A
new ABI is going to be published soon.
I myself am trying to get ABI information, but haven't heard back yet.
