The test.c compiles without errors with ia64-linux-gnu-gcc cross compiler, so it should be capable to generate static binaries. The probles is that the binary prodices a segmentation fault error when is executed in the target machine > > -- > Benjamin Henrion <bhenrion at ffii.org> > FFII Brussels - +32-484-566109 - +32-2-3500762 > "In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software > patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy. > Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of > software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent > court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their > favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or > democratically elected legislators." -- ***************************************** José Luis García Pallero [email protected] (o< / / \ V_/_ Use Debian GNU/Linux and enjoy! ***************************************** -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
