I would say "no". The building of a.out bits is getting harder as more and more framework pieces are removed. I don't quite fully understand the problem yet.

I don't have any 3.x CDROMs any more, so I'd have to wait a while until I can find one at the office. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) GNU is Not Unix / Linux Is Not UniX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
