The i386 loader, at least, uses a completely different technique for generating linker sets from the kernel. I'm not sure that it's applicable to the kernel/KLDs, but it doesn't require the gensetdefs crap at all. The alpha code should probably be using it as well. > Why is the boot code using a special version of gensetdefs.c? > Is there something special about it that /usr/bin/gensetdefs can't be > used? > > I have the appropriate patches so that /usr/bin/gensetdefs is used, > which enables us to cross-built the boot code.
