Attempts to stop the linker with Control+C, quitting Terminal.app, Force Quit Applications, and Activity Monitor fail, as the system becomes too slow to process user input.
Try running ‘top’ or the Activity Monitor window while you do this. It sounds like the linker is either consuming address space like crazy, or maybe forking like crazy.
My computer becomes very slow, too slow to type anything in Terminal.app, and too slow to launch the Activity Monitor.
In any case, as answered on your other thread, the program you’re trying to build isn’t going to work because it’s trying to use the Linux/BSD kernel call ABI instead of Mach’s. (But of course, the linker shouldn’t blow up like this even given bad input.)
This is discounted by the fact that the equivalent
NASM code is fully functional in Mac OS X. Only the the GNU assembler syntax fails.
