Will it get ignored or committed? I think it's hung up on the question of what to do with LDDESTDIR - all agree that it's broken as currently used now but no one wants to bell the cat, either. :-) > 2) John Polstra's ELF work.

I know that moving FreeBSD to Erm, "none excepting inertia and fear of chaos, confusion, shock and increased entropy all around." :) Inflicting another ABI on our user base, one which will result in a new class of packages which all older FreeBSD releases cannot run, is NOT something to be considered lightly.
