Some of them can; notably the binutils ld, which comes from the same source as and uses the same mechanism as objcopy.

Hrm. I thought it did. Possibly it requires an ld-script, or I'm confusing it with Solaris ld. In any case, I am starting to approach the point of "so will Debian allow ghc to remain compatible with non-Linux?", since so far I'm getting the distinct impression that solutions that work on Linux are all that matter. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
