Not really, but then again if AGP really only works on i386, even though theoretically it could work on other platforms as well, we would be fooling ourselves if we continued to build on non-i386. In short: I don't mind, it can always be changed to include alpha or ia64 when appropriate. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-src" in the body of the message
