[comp.unix.ultrix] Unexplained features of DECstation/MIPS compiler/loader

mrs10@cunixd.cc.columbia.edu (Miriam R Schuman) (12/05/90)

Is anybody out there familiar with how to get the MIPS compiler and
loader to do the neat tricks described in the man pages?  Specificaly,
I would like to use the feedback optimization, but can't seem to get
it to work (the init file crt0.s dies with a segmentation fault!).

Also, I can not seem to find an explanation of how to use the -A
option on the ld cmd line.  The man page states that this option
produces DYNAMICALY LOADABLE TEXT!!!  But it does not explain how to
use this feature....

Are these features completely implemented, or is the manual just a
tease?!
