The sparc64 in universe overs 99% of the compile test for sun4v already. It seems a shame to compile sparc64 userland twice for universe. And on that note, do we compile i386 twice for i386 and pc98? I might find myself more inclined to use 'universe' if it had less duplicated work. -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 "If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution." -- Robert Sewell
