In the last episode (Feb 23), Mayank Kumar said: > Cool, thnks for the information. That's exactly what I was looking > for.

Which URL are you looking at? http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/csu/i386-elf/ shows crt1.c. i386/crt0.c was for a.out binaries, and FreeBSD has used elf since 3.0 (in 1998), and the file has since been deleted. It looks like most of the 5.x releases did have a leftover crt0.c, but 5.x can't even generate a.out binaries so the file is not used. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
