(The .bin file is created from the .sym file and fed into btxld(8), which outputs loader after binding in the BTX bits.) The 135168-byte loader works fine here, and I can't think of any reason it should cause problems for you. (It's to be expected that a more recent compiler will emit different object code, so size comparisons are apples and oranges.) -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
