I?ve read megabytes of documentation until my eyes started bleeding, but I
cannot figure this out.
I am writing embedded software for the PC platform, and I need to create
executable files that contain just code ? no headers or sections ? that can
be called by the BIOS boot loader.? My development platform is Windows, and
the majority of the code is written in Ada (GNAT).? Is there a way to tell
GNATlink or LD to create such an output file, or do I need to build a
special version of GCC?? If I need a special version of GCC, how do I build
it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
