That's odd. Am on 6.0-RC1: # uname -a FreeBSD smogmonster.local 6.0-RC1 FreeBSD 6.0-RC1 #0: Thu Oct 20 14:41:23 MDT 2005 krinklyfig@smogmonster.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL60 i386 % file /usr/bin/xargs /usr/bin/xargs: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 6.0 (600034), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped % file /usr/bin/man /usr/bin/man: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 6.0 (600034), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped % file /bin/echo /bin/echo: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 6.0 (600034), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped I know I built valgrind just a few days ago: % file /usr/local/bin/valgrind /usr/local/bin/valgrind: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 6.0 (600034), statically linked, stripped vim, too: % file /usr/local/bin/vim /usr/local/bin/vim: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 6.0 (600034), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped I'm not sure what it means when this information isn't accessible, but I'd say it's symptomatic of another issue, and most likely it's not good. If you built from source, did you follow the procedure described in the handbook? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html Not sure, but are you installing kernel after building world, and then installing world in single user? I've seen strange things happen if you don't do this procedure the right way. Of course, I'm just guessing, as I'm not at all sure what could be causing this problem or what your exact circumstances are. - jt
