I'm not sure where else to post this. It seems as if this is the most appropriate spot based on Apple's listserv descriptions.
I'm trying to learn more about how Operating Systems work so I'm taking an OS design course, which includes kernel development. Since I am a Mac user, I would love very much to complete my course work on my Mac, but that seems as if it's going to be a difficult thing to do using apple's Linker because (if I'm reading the manual page correctly) it only supports macho binaries, and it doesn't support the use of linker scripts.
I need to have the ability to produce either a.out binaries or plain flat binaries, so that I can load the kernel up with GRUB inside of a VM and I can't seem to do either. Further, I tried building GNU ld out of binutils and it just won't run:
sh-3.2# /opt/gnu/bin/ld
/opt/gnu/bin/ld: unrecognised emulation mode:
Supported emulations:
sh-3.2#
Would someone mind pointing me in the right direction please?
Thanks.
-Daniel
