Re: PCH relocation ?

Now, that's a very good idea. Beats reverse-engineering the file.

I've seen a design in which the PCH gets mapped back in, and then the same machinery that was used to map it out walks over it, adding the appropriate offset to all pointers it finds. That's nice in that no on-the-side list is required.
