[Mono-dev] How to access AOTed assembly code?

[autif khan]

Kamal,

Can you please include the following:

1) which gcc
2) output of gcc --version
3) gcc helloworld.c - and then the output of "file a.out" (just have
main(){printf("HW\n";)} in helloworld.c

These will eliminate cross compiler as an issue.

4) The full command that is executed before you get this output - it
is above this output

Up until now, I've been AOT compiling the libraries by running a little app on the Android device itself. Obviously, in the long term, this is not really a good option. So now, I'm trying to build a Mono cross compiler for Android ARM on my Mac OS X machine (gcc --arch returns "i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2" if that is useful).
