Your interest is probably for the SDCC pic target?  I have cc'ed the
gnupic list.  I think most of SDCC developers are listening.

I have put in a lot of work.

There are a couple of minor bugs in the gpasm coff output, but I believe
all devices are working.  All but two of the gpasm coff test files are
passing.

gputils-0.11.0 was the first version with a functional linker (gplink)
and archive tool (gplib).  I have been using them with 14 bit devices,
things seem to be working.  My next big task is to write test files and
fix bugs.

You are probably interested in linking 18xx objects.  I havn't tried. 
There are probably some big bugs that I don't know about.  The test
files should help me fix them.

I am encouraged by what has been accomplished, but realistically it will
take a few more minor releases (6-8 weeks) before gplink will be alpha
for all devices.  I am calling it pre-alpha now.  I would like SDCC to
start using the linker.  This will help to uncover the bugs faster.

I wish I had some time to put into SDCC, but it just hasn't been
possible.  There has been too much work on the backend.  As I stated
before, I have an SDCC patch started.  Some of the basics are taken care
of, but not much more.  I think I will clean up what I have and send to
to everyone.  Give me a couple of days.  Maybe Scott can make an SDCC
cvs branch for the relocatable changes.
