question on cross-compilation with specs...

[Hiremath, Indudharswamy]

Hi,

I built the hello program using xscale-elf-gcc with redboot specs. It
gave me a .out file. But I tried loading it using redboot and running
it, I could not. What's wrong?

Thanks,
IG.

You need to use linker script to specify how the linker should arrange
different sections. Please look into ld manual for more information.
Also
you can look at how its done for linux (for i386 the script is called
vmlinux.lds. BTW its passed to ld by -T option)
