Hello,

I am a user of *386 assembler "as".
I read in the "as" manual that it is possible to create several sections
by directive ".section name".
I'd like to use several data sections in my program, but I have the
following problem. 

Let us assume the following code:

.globl j
.section proof1
        .align 2
        .type    j,@object
        .size    j,4
j:
        .long 12
.globl d
.section proof2
        .align 2
        .type    d,@object
        .size    d,4
d:
        .long 14


I'd like to refer j or d by a selector register as, for instance, "%gs :
j" (as written in the "as" manual). How is it possible to load in gs the
address of section proof1?

Could anyone help me?

Thank you in advance.

Francesco Marcelloni
