Hi,
thanks for the tip about position-independent. I did compile with -fno-pic,
and the
op.h was then generated without error. Now I have a different problem that
might be
related to PIC. The thing is, because of the nature of PalmOS, I had to link
with -fPIC.
Now, after removing the faults, I have reached the execution loop in cpu-exec.c
and
invoking of gen_func, nothing is realy happening, the loop is being executed,
but after
printing the data at the address of gen_func, I could see that there are all
zeroes.
Might that be because of linking with -fPIC? If so, I will have to use
different way
to link it, and it might take a while.
If not, where to search for the fault? I have also debugged the
host_alarm_handler,
and found out that although realtime timer expires, it is not initialized
again. Where exactly
in the code is it done? I tried to find the place, but those timer functions
are structure
members, and it is hard to find a place.

Try compiling as position-dependent (i.e. not PIC) code. GOT is a typical
feature of position independent code.
