We've been going through the same exercise porting one of our products. I've kept all my notes in one place so that I can publish them as "The Compiler Writer's Guide to Linux". The current set of notes includes a complete program that calls printf from the libc shared library. The notes are at http://www.mpeforth.com/arena/cwgtLinux.txt At this stage I can't say that everything is 100%, but so far so good. The next task is to set up signal handlers from assembly. All feedback, criticism and help is welcome. The final book will be available as a free PDF from our website. Printed copies with an accompaying CD will also be available.
