What's the story with http://asm.sourceforge.net ? Just a mirror, or is
there some difference?

Still hoping to release new asmutils..
Great! There are a couple bugs in 0.17...
Makefile - insists on buggy 0.98 to build. Deleting the obvious
offending lines fixes it. (we apologize for 0.98.37 - elf output was
badly broken... but 0.98??? Jesus, it won't even assemble its own "test"
directory!)
truss.asm - "pause" is an instruction nowadays. Speak to Intel, not
Nasm's fault. I fixed it by changing to "$pause" (two places, IIRC), but
any change would fix it...
Several of the utilities segfault on 2.6.10+ (this was first brought to
my attention on 2.6.11, but the patch appears to have been applied to
2.6.10 - still there in 2.6.12) This applies to those utilities with the
(only) code section set to "R X", but those with "RWX" still work okay.
I don't know if the proper fix is to make all code sections writeable
(last lines in Brian's "elf.inc") or to make sure every program made
this way has a "UDATASEG"...
Call it a "kernel bug" if you like (I do), but I don't think it's going
to go away.
What are the security implications of making the code section writeable?
Is this a "safe" thing to do?
And still lacking time for this.. :(
So many bits,so little time... :) Huge thanks to you and others involved
for what you've done. It's a *tremendous* help!
Best,
Frank
