I'm not sure how functional the binaries will be using a FreeBSD kernel because they use NetBSD syscalls. Things like stat(2) will fail because of the changes NetBSD made for 1.3. Maybe now would be a good time to look at changing src/Makefile to do cross worlds, where the programs built into WORLDTMP are not executed during the build. I think that rtld-elf is straight forward. I was leaving room for jdp to work on it - I guess he's been too busy. I'm working on adding the MIPS style _procedure_table generation code to ld (elf64-alpha.c) so that there is a runtime_pdr for exception handling for modula-3, and therefore cvsup. This functionality is specified in DEC's AXP Calling Standard. I'm surprised that binutils hasn't got it (there is actually some of the code there, but it's #ifdef'd out). -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
