I've seen a bit of stuff related to this recently on one of the FreeBSD lists I read, though I've never been bitten by it so didn't pay much attention. All I can think is that maybe MACHINE_ARCH is set to "unknown" in your environment for one reason or another? Have you tried # MACHINE_ARCH=$(uname -m) make aout-to-elf-build ? -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
