There are My NetBSD hacker friend hasn't done this himself, but he referred me to the man page for ld, which (even under FreeBSD) claims that ld can mix and match any of the formats that are supported, and that a list of such formats can be obtained by running "objdump -i". Under NetBSD this lists both aout and elf, while under FreeBSD it lists elf only. -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cequrux.com Director, Research and Development WWW: http://www.cequrux.com CEQURUX Technologies Phone: +27(21)423-6065 Firewalls/VPN Specialists Fax: +27(21)424-3656 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
