Why not? I understand you can't link the kernel with libc, and most (if not all) utility libraries simply make no sense in the kernel's job. libgcc is a library that provides seldom-used parts of the C language as functions, to which the compiler generates calls as needed. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand mailto:vonbrand@inf.utfsm.cl Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513
