[comp.arch] Gnu assembler for the 80860, linker info needeed

jtv@kampi.hut.fi (Jukka Virtanen) (09/25/89)

	I ported the GNU assembler for the Intel 80860 RISC chip,
	but since I don't know what kind of relocation info the
	Intel linker for the machine uses, the resulting binary
	is not too useful.

	With hypothetic relocation info and the GNU a.out.gnu.h
	(BSD like executable file header info) I also modified
	the GNU linker to load the object files that the assembler
	generates. (This is of course not useful until such an
	operating system exists for the machine :-)

	I would like to know if anyone could help me to get the
	exact object file format and relocation stuff that
	the Intel linker for the machine uses.

	Also, I have some questions of the syntax of the assembly
	language. (GNU CC generates syntax that does not conform
	with the programmers reference manual for the machine.)

	I would also appreciate an email address of someone who
	knows about this.

	Please mail all responses to me.

			Thanks for your time,
