<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for the clarification. It's much easier without sticking to the old gcc version.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes, I noticed that VBoxRem2.rel is an ELF image. Can you explain how this file is built? I assume it's done on Linux. Do you use mingw toolchain on linux to do the cross compile? Since it's ELF image, perhaps it's built from pure linux gcc (w/o cross compile to windows)?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am trying to eliminate VBoxREM2.rel on windows using MingW64, in other words, combining the current VBoxREM.dll + VBoxREM2.rel ==> VBoxREM.dll</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail> Hi Huihong,<BR><BR><BR>Recompiler should build OK with recent gcc. Gcc 3 limitation was applicable to 'old' recompiler, not relying on TCG for codegeneration.
