similar to: linking external library into module

I guess there were no dendrites to tickle. I did come up with a partial answer, although why exactly these items are required is still somewhat of a mystery to me. I'll probably investigate further at some point to see about getting a full answer, but here's what I came up with so far. So, in case anyone else is giving this a try: 1) It appears that external libraries will not link

Thank you for the confirmation about the ABI issue. I'm a bit puzzled by your answer for my #2, below. I could easily be missing something, but I was under the impression that what I had changed was the position of the command line flags to ld, not the relative position and ordering of the linked libraries. Am I misunderstanding what is stored in $(LDFLAGS)? I mean, I'm not ending up

It seems that the com32 module is a raw binary file without any control infomation. To factor it into suitable for dynamic linking, we need add some control sections, but can we still tell that file a com32 file ? why we use the elf file format directly? Thank you -- Ziyu Yu

This is a set of few chain post-merge patches - mostly revolving around simple adjustments, though a few are somewhat larger and/or introducing new features (nothing particularly complex though). Fetch details at the bottom. I didn't spam the list with mass of mostly banal patches, though of course I can send them any moment if necessary. Summary of a few more important ones: -

[resending, cutting out git pull-request output to make message smaller] Hi all, I have written a COM32 module called "acpioff", that, not surprisingly, powers off a machine using ACPI. I have tested it only using pxelinux.0 with a SeaBIOS/Qemu virtual machine. Since the changeset pulls in a "Linux-ized" version of the open source ACPI Component Architecture, it was too big

At boot: prompt, COM32 module calls with full path fails silently. Please let me know if this is not the best fix for it.

ldisk.c32 is a Lua module that provides information about disks to Lua scripts The example script com32/lua/test/detect_disks.lua uses it to implement some- thing akin to 'disk.c32'.

This is a first attempt to make the DMI table accessible in a com32 module. This patch applies to the latest syslinux (3.20-pre11). It will add some headers in com32/include/dmi and three files in com32/modules/. dmi.c This is the core program that makes the dmi tables accessible. dmi_utils.c Just a small util file to display some more complicated messages dmitest.c The program

This document http://llvm.org/docs/Projects.html says the USEDLIBS should be used to statically link libraries: USEDLIBSThis variable holds a space separated list of libraries that should be linked into the program. These libraries must be libraries that come from your *lib* directory. The libraries must be specified without their "lib" prefix. For example, to link libsample.a, you
