Re: [Axiom-developer] Re: [Gcl-devel] native relocation on Mac OS X

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  I had to rework the plt code a bit yet again to be able to
work nicely with compiler::link, needed in a variety of situations.
If there are any compile issues "out of the box" on any non-Linux
platform, please let me know.  I'd like to eliminate any required
platform specific patches.

BTW, the plt table when available can now be accessed via lisp through
si::*plt-table*.  I'm leaving it in the final image, as one could
conceivably modify it if needed and run si::build-symbol-table again.

Take care,
