Hi Nikolay,
 
Thanks for the clarification. It's much easier without sticking to the old gcc 
version.
 
Yes, I noticed that VBoxRem2.rel is an ELF image. Can you explain how this file 
is built? I assume it's done on Linux. Do you use mingw toolchain on linux to 
do the cross compile? Since it's ELF image, perhaps it's built from pure linux 
gcc (w/o cross compile to windows)?
 
I am trying to eliminate VBoxREM2.rel on windows using MingW64, in other words, 
combining the current VBoxREM.dll + VBoxREM2.rel ==> VBoxREM.dll
 
Thanks,
 
Huihong

    Hi Huihong,


Recompiler should build OK with recent gcc. Gcc 3 limitation was applicable to 
'old' recompiler, not relying on TCG for codegeneration. Windows 64-bit REM is 
built to ELF image, not  PE, thus  MinGW shall be of little help to you.

Thanks,
    Nikolay.
