gas for m68k elf

gas for m68k elf

[Ken Raeburn]

Is anyone willing and able to do some testing (and maybe a little
debugging) for a 68k-elf configuration for gas?  I need someone with
access to a 68k-elf system that isn't using GNU tools as the native
tools, for comparison.

What is the progress on fixing the GAS bug that is blocking
the shared libraries for the Hurd?

I hope you are working on that, and not solely on the 68k-elf
configuration.  That is useful but not urgently necessary.

I described the bug in Roland's assembly code, and how it could be
determined from the symptoms, in mail I sent yesterday afternoon.  I
checked in a change to detect that specific case and warn about it
last night, a couple of hours before I sent this mail.

Perhaps not to the FSF, but it is to Cygnus.

In fact, the m68k-elf work has been done for a while, but I've had a
bug report on it from someone on the net, who looked over the code,
but doesn't have access to a machine to try it on either.  Instead,
I've been working on some MIPS code I was supposed to ship to a
customer some time ago.

Good.

I hadn't yet heard that this was solved.
