building my own toolchain

Hi,

I've been working on building my own toolchain running on Linux. I'm
currently building a 'freestanding' library along with startup code to
be linked together. Unfortunately I've run into problems with the
startup code with passing command line arguments to main(). Whilst it
works in most occasions, one of my test programs core dumps and
debugging can't find the cause. Could someone please point me at the
more appropriate newsgroups dealing with this; seeing as I'm using x86
assembler with NASM, and GCC for the C programs and library that I've
written?

Thanks,
Alex

comp.unix.progr ammer is likely to be a good place. If your problems
turn out to be specific to Linux, then one of the Linux groups might
be better; the folks in comp.unix.progr ammer can probably tell you
which one.

OK, thanks I'll give that a whirl.

Hi, I am trying to get a small group of volunteers together to create Windows binaries for any Python extension developer that needs them, much like the package/extension builders who volunteer their time to create Linux RPMs. The main thing I need are people willing to test the binaries to make sure the extension is stable. This would require installing the binary and probably downloading the source too to get the developer's test
