Let me try another way: Since pkg has feature macros for building correctly on different FreeBSD versions, namely 10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, the way to provide binaries without missing symbols is to build pkg with a fixed set of feature macros for 10.0. I've done this for projects to retain upgrade paths. It's not hard. It doesn't violate a policy or promise FreeBSD makes, does it? Cheers, Franco
