Thanks for trying it. If you see any anomalies, please let me know. But I'd be very surprised if it caused any problems.

I would be more concerned about binary compatability with OSF (or "DEC UNIX") software binary compatability breaking as a result of this change. That assumes that you brought it in from NetBSD in the first place, of course.

The assumption in the EABI that specifies ELF and specifies the offset at which the binary is linked is pretty ingrained in the binaries.

The Tru64 UNIX, (formerly Digital UNIX (formerly OSF/1)) compat code, which I brought in from NetBSD and enhanced to use shared libraries, uses its own ecoff image activation routine. Hence, it should be unaffected by the patch in question.
