As it is, you seem to be the single source of information. your tarball wires read/write etc directly to linux syscalls, this is WRONG, as it will bypass the vfs layer in prom-libc, not allowing it to be tested. linux syscalls will be __linux_open() etc. only rawio will call them. > > 3) im not in a good mood at all this week, nothing to do with this > > project or any of you, so don't take my terse attitude in a personal > > or insulting way, nor as a indication of lack of appreciation for the > > help, without the help it will take years for me to complete this > > project, with help i think it could be done by next year. but again > > its just going to slow things down if i have to talk past you over and > > over again, so please try a little harder to read and understand my > > replies and then post well reasoned responses. > > > > If I just pissed you of that much in the space of a few days, just imagine > what I can do in a month! as i said above my current mood has nothing to do you with you, but some of my conversations with you have been frustrating as its seemed like you were not listening. > You are just lucky that I am notoriously in a good mood :-) > > None of that fixes the varargs stuff, of course.

Any takers? shouldn't take any asm stuff.. i don't have any of these vaargs problems.. and i have done a basic test under gcc 3.3 in debian, things worked fine (via the LD_PRELOAD hack test). i think your compiler is broken.
