Re: FRV FDPIC ABI changes


Alexandre Oliva wrote:

This patch adds code to binutils to support a new ABI designed for the
FR-V architecture, that enables text segments of executables and
shared libraries to be shared by multiple processes on an OS such as
uClinux, that can run on FR-V processors without an MMU.

Patches for binutils and GCC have just been posted, and patches for
uClibc will follow shortly, in the corresponding mailing lists.

This patch is just meant to enable newlib to also be usable as a test
platform for the FDPIC ABI.

Ok to install?



Is it possible for the flag __FRV_FDPIC__ to be undefined (i.e. should the check also look for !defined(__FRV_FDPIC__)?
