Hi Vivtek,

I have started with 3.4.0,however the changes should be portable to
4.x as well.If I remember correctly the shared flat approach for m68k
was laid open in 2004(or much earlier) but I have never come across a
similar open source implementation for ARM..I am sorry but are we sure
that there is no previous implementations for ARM(except xflat ) which
has been made available with source code??

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.

Regards
Greg

I am working on providing shared flat support for ARM.The approach is
similar to the way it has been implemented for m68k.I am aware of the
changes required and tested  it by putting a manual hack in the flat
file.Before attempting to make the necessary changes in GCC,I wanted
to know if there is an open source implementation avilable(execpt for
xflat)?Which version of GCC would be suitable to make the changes
2.9.x ,3.4.x.....?

use the most modern version you can. At least there is a chance
that the changes could be contributed back to gcc that way.
