	[Stephane Dalton]  you can basically do the same using the
__attribute__ of gcc... you can use several keywords such as section, packed
and of course align, refer to the info pages.

project porting troubles!

[Luca Manai]

Dear Cross Gcc users,

I'm trying to port a project from this environment:

  - HP commercial cross compiler for m68000
      running on an old HP-workstation

to this environment:

  - EGCS 1.1.2 cross compiler for m68000 (already compiled)
      running on Sun solaris 2.6 workstation

In the old project I needed to align an array as long word.
It was simple to use the following instructions:

#pragma SECTION CONST=my_Data
const unsigned char my_Array[344537] = 
{
	0xff,
	0xff,
	0x62,
	0xff,
        ...
}

to set the section name for 'my_Array' to 'My_Data'
and than at linking time instruct the linker to align the section
my_Data as long word.

Is it possible to do something similar with EGCS?

Thanks.

Luca MANAI.
