Sounds interesting. You should consider bringing the kernel module up to kernel coding standards and submitting it for mainline. That would be the best way to get more users and testers. Have you also considered to turn it into a generic incremental binary linker too? I guess most of the infrastructure needed for it is already there. Even though gold looks very promising long link times can be still a problem in development. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
