Hi,

I am using Yagarto tools for ARM development (AT91SAM7S64). Everything
seems to be OK, except that when I use malloc the returned pointer
points to 0x00000008 regardless of the amount of bytes that I want to
allocate. I have
read the newsgroups, but nothign seems to help.


I need your advice with my .ld file, in order to know what could be
messed / missing and how to fix it. Other suggestions are welcome too.
