I really need someone to help me out.  I'm having trouble building
(any) program with ST-MINIX.  I tried to port ARC 5.12 with no
luck (/usr/lib/cv, during the link step, gets a segmentation
violation, always at the same place, regardless of what is to
be loaded).  I suspected that it was my problem, so I tried to
build the test programs under /usr/src/test, and guess what?  Same
problem.  I really don't know where to look next (I have the kernel
dump, but really don't know where to go from here).

On a similar note, would it be possible to post at least a shortened
version of the manual page entries for the ACK stuff.  It's really
difficult to isolate problems like this one without knowing what
the flags to ld mean, for instance:

ld -o test0 -c -a0:2 -a1:2 -a2:2 -a3:2 ....

What are the meanings for the flags here?  I tried the UNIX-like ld
command line:

ld -o test0 crtso.o test0.o libc.a end.o

And ld seemed to work fine, but what I got didn't seem to be an executable.

Anyway, I'd *really* appreciate any help, especially from those of
you who have been able to build (any) program under ST-MINIX.
