building my own toolchain

[Alex Buell]

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.programmer 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.programmer can probably tell you
which one.

OK, thanks I'll give that a whirl.
