Hello, Would it be acceptable to add support for the mostly obsolete, but in rare cases useful a.out executable format?
This would allow use of the compiler on platforms like Minix-2 on i386 in 32-bit mode. Tinycc is buildable on Minix-2 and provides there an independent toolchain. Unfortunately, to run the resulting executables, they have to be converted to the Minix a.out format. This works when testing with an elf2aout converter, but is a remarkable inconvenience. Would some developer familiar with the tinycc internals be kind to help with adding the needed minimal aout support, by giving directions for the modification or, best of all, by adding the support? There is no need to handle aout object files, only statically linked executables. As a compile-time option this would not weigh down tinycc on other platforms. What do you think? Kudos to the developers for tinycc, compact and capable as it is. /tccm _______________________________________________ Tinycc-devel mailing list Tinycc-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tinycc-devel
