If MACHINE_ARCH is undefined, it means i386 (historically in FreeBSD). MACHINE_ARCH should never by the user. Please don't suggest to people that they do that. If there is a problem with the aout-to-elf-build barfing because MACHINE_ARCH is not set, then a different fix is required. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
