You're forgetting that you're not actually doing any cross-architecture stuff. It's much easier to fix if a pentium was considered a different architecture than i486. It's not; hence the frustration... In my reply to the "splitting make.conf" thread on -arch, I mentioned something I called modes. Whether that's a good name is totally irrelevant at this time. What is relevant is that modes *may* save us here. Not that it'll help us for 4.3, because it'll probably involve some serious work, but it's one possible way to have cross-building be more finegrained than only looking at the architecture. No doubt, other solutions will exist as well that may even be more simple... -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
