But I have to remind you that there are _no_ usable development tools available. We will have to add little-endian PPC-PE support to GCC and Binutils because it was either removed (GCC) or suffers from heavy bit-rot (Binutils). This is not an easy task when you're neither a PPC-Guru nor a GCC/Binutils-Guru.
Right. The only other option is to add a ELF loader to ntosknrl and ntdll and then build all of ReactOS as ELF Winelib binaries. I have looked at this quite a bit and even have a bug for it bugzilla. We have the needed tools to support a ELF build of ReactOS but we need someone to write the binary loader. I have spoken to Alexandre about it at length and Blight did some research in to this....needless to say we have not made much progress as of yet.
I am afriad our only hopes of porting to other platforms with PE are arm-wince-pe and sh4-pe both of which are still supported by mainly GCC for embedded development.
Thanks Steven
Adding support to load (map) ELF files to ntoskrnl is not a big problem I think (I have already done this and it should work) Problems which I had was that normal ELF files do not contain an optional header which we need (it contains for example the required os and subsystem version and subsystem type) - this is what wingcc can be used for I think. I have also had problems with building our libraries in ELF format to link some ELF test-app against, maybe this is easier with wingcc.
Maybe if I try again with the WINE tools I can get further... If anybody else wants to try I can send a patch for ELF support in ntoskrnl.

Yes post the patch.
I have a CD with MetaWare's High C/C++ PPC for dos. (cant find it ATM) It supports ELF/DWARF. I think using ELF is way to go. James
