Folks

I was looking around for a kallsyms for x86_64 and found a kallsyms for
ia64.  I hacked it to cross compile for x86_64 (by changing a few elf
header variables).  the 2.4.25 patch for kdb works with this version of
kallsyms.

I need a kallsyms that works for all architectures such as xscale, i386,
x86_64.  In the sources, there is talk of a rewrite of kallsyms.  Has
this been done?

If not, I can spend a few days on it.  I was thinking of making kallsyms
read the header and use the appropriate object loader for the
architecture (xscale, x86_64, ia32, ppc) to load the object once it
finds a matching elf header.

Has this work been started or already done?  I looked at the 2.4
modutils package (2.4.26 I think?) and it doesn't appear to be done
there.  I don't see any later version of modutils.

please copy me my mail server is having problems and caused my
registration from this list to be bounced.

Thanks
