Mark, how does this revision look? This is a step into the direction that I was heading for. However, I was envisioning a somewhat more generic approach, suitable for all i386 ELF targets. I wasn't planning on having that support in 6.0 though. Would you mind if I keep your patch around until I implement that approach? Mark
