Close the PR. I update my systems via "make world", and I went from aout to elf format via "make update; make world". I have the equivalent of the compatXX installed on my system with respect to the binaries and libraries. I do not have rtld.1 except in /usr/src/whatever. The .Xr to rtld(1) in dlopen(3) should be removed on a FreeBSD-current system. -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
