In fact, I just want to find a practical way to make the crt work.
Currently, I did the following configure in my port:
include "elfos.h" in tm.h
define HAS_INIT_SECTION
undefine OBJECT_FORMAT_ELF
define INVOKE__main
use default INIT_SECTION_OP
My port is working on a bare metal machine with newlib support. Seems
I fall into an spurious configure for compiling crtstuff.c. Could you
give me some guide to lead me back to common configuration of this?
Thanks.
