Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-SW-Source: 2003-01/txt/msg00280.txt.bz2 DJGPP does not have the constraints of a PE/COFF object file format. As I understand it, they have a wrapper that loads COFF, so they can do as they please. I have already done everything that DJGPP does, but I can not make the vma's of the .debug_* sections zero without violating the PE/COFF format and rendering the executable useless. Thus, I need a DWARF-2 expert to tell me how to modify the code to work with non-zero VMA's. Thanks for trying, though.
