I have a problem with a library of routines, which are pre-linked for use
with the 3L family of compilers, but give errors when you use them with the
Inmos "3L compatible" compilers.
 
A t8c/linkt (3L) cycle works fine, but a t8c/ilink/iboot (Inmos) cycle
gives an error during iboot (Invalid tag: LONG), which (according to the
manual) indicates a problem during linking. Has anyone had problems of this
kind and know a solution for them ?
 
The whole thing raises the question of linker file formats and object file
formats. Does anyone know if programs exist that translate one object code
to the other ? Which of the object file formats is likely to be standardized
in the future ? There are also less severe differences between 3L and Inmos
in the map files, but the standardization of the object file format looks
the most urgent to me.
