What do you need this for? Juniper needs to be able to call functions in the loadable modules before the modules are actually linked into the kernel. This will be used to call platform specific initialization functions early in the bootup process. Will also need un-static link_elf_preload_parse_symbols, parse_dynamic, symbol_name, link_elf_lookup_symbol, link_elf_symbol_values. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
