Re: [uClinux-dev] Shared Flat support for ARM

I don't know of any other work for shared FLAT files on ARM. As Dave mentioned the other thing worth looking at is the fdpic format, linux-2.6.x/fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c. You may find it an easier mechanism for shared libs on non-MMU ARM.

None to our knowledge at least, you may also want to investigate the FDPIC format that Blackfin and FRV are using. It's elf+sharedlibs etc and it works much like normal elf shared libs AFAICT.
