Possibly... Currently only the kernel and 2 modules need to use genassym, but I don't want to qualify it as a kernel-only tool per se. What about gensetdefs? gensetdefs is also needed by the Alpha boot loader, BTW. And what about elf2exe? Anyway, what it the status of building modules with the kernel and how does it complicate a cross-build in which we want to build a kernel as well (needed to properly upgrade)? -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ The FreeBSD project mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
