Help w/ mozilla....

[Sean Chitwood]

Hi-
	I have taken it upon my self to try and modify some MacOS assmebly code for to assembly code for linuxppc. The goal is to get mozilla working on linuxppc again.

	Here is the problem, when I try and assemble the code I get "Error: unsupported relocation type" for pretty much every line. I've read the info, I've researched the best I could but it looks like it should work. I am confused and have turned to you guys.

I am using the as and gasp from binutils-2.9.1.0.990418 and I have attached the file I'm trying to assemble.

As far as I can tell ".text" is a valid section type and should work, but that is the only thing I get out of the error messages is that ".text" is not right. Can someone please help me? Yes, you reading email, could you help me?
