The gcc that's in our main source tree can trivially be built for ELF by setting BINFORMAT=elf in the environment before running make. The current version of GNU binutils fully supports the configuration target "i386-unknown-freebsdelf". Our kernel, libc, and all other libraries I've tried build and work just fine for ELF. (They did the last time I checked, anyway.) The most recent work I did was to make the kernel compile, boot, and run when built as an ELF executable. That was met with a great big collective yawn when I committed it. All available evidence indicates that nobody else gives a tinker's damn about FreeBSD-ELF except as something fun to argue about passionately. (The people working on the alpha port are probably going to care about it some day, whenever they get around to that part.) I'm not complaining, but I'm also not feeling encouraged to expend any more effort on it. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
