Hi Ken, Hi Ivan,
I have now approved and checked this patch into the binutils
sources. My apologise for taking so long to do this :-(

* emulparams/elf64alpha.sh: Implement "-taso" emulation
specific option to fit 64-bit executable in the lower
31-bit address range. This is done by changing start
address of .interp (the very first section of executable)
and then setting EF_ALPHA_32BIT elf header flag.

The patch is no longer valid due to my recent change to elf32.em.
However, I do have a version which works. Should I go ahead to install
it?

Ivan Kokshaysky posted a cool patch to get GNU LD to support -taso which
on a 64 bit platform jams the application into the bottom 32 bits. This
can help portability a lot. I've heard part of the problem porting
netscape to Alpha Linux is that it is not 64 bit clean. This feature has
existed on Tru64/Digital Unix for a long time. Any possibility of
getting it checked in to CVS? Or the linux distribution?

I'm not sure about netscape, but it definitely helps Quake to run
on Alpha/Linux ;-)

It would be nice, so I repost the patch against current CVS here.

Thanks. Sorry for the delay. It will be in the next Linux binutils.
