Re: ARM section alignment
Nick:
Sorry for the delay in reply. I was waiting for input from the user.
We have a bug filed against our tool chain. objdump output, including
the spec file, is there. You can have a look at:
https://dev.eros-os.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59
The tool chain was configure i386-unknown-coyotos, which is a local
configuration. The linker part of that configuration is the same as the
linux arm eabi config, except that the configuration name was changed.
The emulation template apparently needs to be brought up to date, but I
don't see anything jumping out at me in the template that should account
for this.
The puzzle here is to understand why the program headers are getting
that particular alignment requirement.
If it matters, this is a cross compile scenario.
