Anyone interested in a free 'C' compiler?
Great, then listen to this:
I'm trying to port the gnu 'c' compiler, and the lowest
link (the linker) is the hardest.
I don't have any documentation on how to write an executable
from scratch. What do executable file headers look like?
Any pointers (**q) to sample code (*sample_code) or
to references (like, is this in the develepor's docs?)
would be greatly appreciated.

If you mean porting it to run native on, say, a floppy based Amiga 1000 or 500 without extra memory the linker should be the easiest part. The sheer size of the sources will cause problems (1.32 is 2.4 meg compressed) but more power to you if you succeed.... > >I don't have any documentation on how to write an executable >from scratch.
