Is anyone else having issues using compat4x / running FreeBSD 4
binaries on 8.1-RELEASE? I recently upgraded a system of mine from
8.0-RELEASE to 8.1-RELEASE, which seems to have broken compatibility
with compat4x. The requisite package is installed (I even reinstalled
it, but it appears to be a binary package). The kernel options are all
still there in my kernel config, which is only a slightly modified GENERIC.
$ uname -a
FreeBSD xxxxxx 8.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE #0: Tue Sep 21 01:18:45
EDT 2010 root@xxxxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PFSYNC-MFIB amd64
$ grep -ir compat /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/PFSYNC-MFIB
options COMPAT_43TTY # BSD 4.3 TTY compat (sgtty)
options COMPAT_IA32 # Compatible with i386 binaries
options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4
options COMPAT_FREEBSD5 # Compatible with FreeBSD5
options COMPAT_FREEBSD6 # Compatible with FreeBSD6
options COMPAT_FREEBSD7 # Compatible with FreeBSD7
An example FreeBSD 4 port which no longer works is audio/ventrilo-server:
$ sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ventrilo-server start
Starting ventrilo.
/usr/local/ventrilo-server/ventrilo_srv: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
$ file /usr/local/ventrilo-server/ventrilo_srv
/usr/local/ventrilo-server/ventrilo_srv: ELF 32-bit LSB executable,
Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs),
for FreeBSD 4.5, stripped
$ ldd /usr/local/ventrilo-server/ventrilo_srv
ldd: /usr/bin/ldd32: Exec format error
Interestingly enough, the compat4 libraries themselves don't seem to be
recognized:
$ ldd /usr/local/lib32/compat/libfetch.so.2
ldd: /usr/bin/ldd32: Exec format error
Compat5x libraries do not appear to be affected:
$ ldd /usr/local/lib/compat/libfetch.so.3
/usr/local/lib/compat/libfetch.so.3:
libssl.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/compat/libssl.so.3 (0x800c00000)
libcrypto.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/compat/libcrypto.so.3
(0x800d3a000)
Has anyone else ran into this issue? I realize trying to use things
built for FreeBSD 4 may be like beating a dead horse at this point, I'm
just surprised that the compatibility was broken during a minor release
upgrade.
Thanks,
Steve Polyack
