They were provided for link-time compatability with old a.out binaries. We have not been providing gnumalloc at all for some time. The presense of the ELF libgnumalloc stub is just an oversight. The reason for /usr/lib/compat in the first place was so that ld and autoconfig wouldn't "find" -lgnumalloc or -lresolv etc, but without busting backwards compatability with "old" binaries. > > Terry Lambert > terry@lambert.org Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
