Linker (ld) problem (fills zeros)

[Nir Perry]

Hello,

I have a weird problem with a port we made to the GNU linker.

We tried to add some kind of overlay support (without using the 
existing, yet minimal, overlay support of binutils), by using the high 
bits of the addresses as overlay numbers.

The result is quite OK for most cases, but sometimes, the generated 
output file has some parts of it zeroed (zeros instead of actual data).

Did anyone see such a problem, or have any idea where to start looking ?


Thanks,

Nir Perry
