Phew. wouldn't most of this hoopla go away if we built our tools static instead of dynamic? also, it would allow us to not build the shared libs when initially building the tools... I've also thought about digging in to see about using your x86 box to do a buildworld, but end up with alpha or sparc binaries... I think this would help the porting effort among other things... anybody have any objections to these ideas going into the tree (after testing of course :) )? -- John-Mark Gurney Modem Rev/FAX: +1 541 346 9237 Cu Networking P.O.
