I've done *many* "make world"'s in the last 5 months or so, and the last time rtld(1) was installed was last May (about when I upgraded my main machine from 2.2.8 - 4.0-current). My "virgin" 3.2 machine, and my 3.3-RC machine do not have rtld.1 at all. Yes, rtld(1) can be installed under some configurations, but since you have to jump through some hoops to do that, we shouldn't xref rtld(1). (This reminds me, I should probably blow away my current /usr/share/man just so I can catch these kinds of things with 'manck') -Mike > > I update my systems via "make world", and I went from aout to > > elf format via "make update; make world".
