As of yesterday (99/05/20), there still seems to be a problem when doing a "buildworld/installworld" w/ COMPAT22=YES however... I sucked down the compat22 distball, and it worked, but a build w/ COMPAT22=YES didn't. The only difference seems to be the presence of /usr/lib/exec/ld.so. All the other aout compatibility libraries/files seem to be there, but ld.so is missing... ________________________________________________________________________ William R.
