[comp.sys.amiga.tech] HUNK_EXT with symbol type 'ext_common'

smr@beach.cis.ufl.edu (Samual Rushing) (08/14/90)

We are in desperate need of an AmigaDOS linker that supports the DOCUMENTED
HUNK_EXT symbol type 130 ... 'ext_common'.  

	1) Does ALINK ?  We can't find a copy to test it.

	2) If there is such a linker, it must be capable of linking
	   large applications ( > 500K, Maybe over 1Meg).

	3) Or is there a new Object File spec that provides the
	   same utility in some other way?


Lattice/Software Distillery's BLINK doesn't recognize it.
Matt Dillon's DLINK was kind enough to say "that's not supported".


Without a COMMON type we are forced to Horrid, Ugly Kludgedness in a most
Important Port.
