I added a patch "aout407.patch" for running
a.out binaries in the 1ed
kernel. It could be a little cleaner; if anyone can review it and fix
it up I would appreciate it. I was able to run "as" and "size",
both of which are 0407 binaries.
I played around trying to get the last11c C compiler to work, but no luck
yet. I can compile it using Apout and the existing cc, c0, c1, as binaries.
Tim, I suspect that we need to modify the 0407 patch to also clear the
bss area in core. Here are the headers from several binaries
Size of: text data bss
/usr/lib/c0 000407 023324 003574 005700 017614 000000 000000 000001
/usr/lib/c1 000407 016664 011554 003030 010624 000000 000000 000001
/usr/bin/cc 000407 004576 000416 001024 003644 000000 000000 000001
/usr/bin/as 000407 016616 000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 000001
/usr/bin/size 000407 002626 000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 000001
You can see that c0, c1 and cc all have bss areas, but as and size have no
bss areas, which is probably why they work OK.
Cheers,
