Bug ID: 30970
Summary: [rfe] please include HPA segelf work
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: stsp at users dot sourceforge.net
Target Milestone: ---
Hi guys.
I've recently discovered this binutils fork by HPA:
https://git.syslinux.org/users/hpa/segelf/binutils.git/
Which implements this elf extension proposal:
https://git.syslinux.org/users/hpa/segelf/abi.git/tree/segelf.txt
I've also found his nasm elf16 fork:
https://github.com/netwide-assembler/nasm/tree/elf16
I built these things locally and ported my
project to this segelf scheme without a slightest issue:
https://github.com/dosemu2/fdpp/issues/172#issuecomment-1760271090
So its an absolutely marvelous piece of code, but
unfortunately HPA has lost an interest to it many
years ago. How feasible would it be for binutils
gurus to take it over and upstream? I myself can't
tell if something is missing in his impl. But it
works for me perfectly well.
