That said it looks like what is left is to modify the .S files to contain 64bit relocations or actuall position independent code. Is there any easy way to write position independent 32bit code that will load all of the registers, and jump to known address? This is what the code does right now. .code32 /* load the data segments */ movl $0x18, %eax /* data segment */ movl %eax, %ds movl %eax, %es movl %eax, %ss movl %eax, %fs movl %eax, %gs /* Load the registers */ movl eax, %eax movl ecx, %ecx movl edx, %edx movl esi, %esi movl edi, %edi movl esp, %esp movl ebp, %ebp movl ebx, %ebx /* Jump to the loaded image */ jmpl *(eip) .section ".rodata" .balign 4 entry32_regs: eax: .long 0x00000000 ebx: .long 0x00000000 ecx: .long 0x00000000 edx: .long 0x00000000 esi: .long 0x00000000 edi: .long 0x00000000 esp: .long 0x00000000 ebp: .long 0x00000000 eip: .long entry16 .size entry32_regs, . - entry32_regs Eric
