Re: [Gcl-devel] console2.6.8

[Camm Maguire]

Hi Tim!  Regarding the unrecognized section name, this error depends on
the installed version of gcc.  The 4.2.1 which I believe is standard on
mac 10.8 does not generate it, to my understanding (i.e. I can build
2.6.8 on the mac to which I have access without issue as earlier
reported.).  Somewhere in later toolchain versions a _got section was
added.

I think you want this, if you still want to work with 2.6.8 on your mac:

* - 57dedec1 allocate gcl_zone_body in static area, as malloc_create_zone 
returns a pointer to read-only memory in macosx 10.8
