My personal motivation is when I install a 5-{CURRENT,RELEASE} system by building from RELENG_4, no linker.hints is created. This breaks auto-loading of kld's which breaks the boot when it comes time to mount NFS partitions. There was some discussion on -current about this and the only comments I got were ones like, "we need to do this," from peter@. Sorry if you missed the thread there. The thread subject is "Create linker.hints at boot," http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1026380+0+archive/2003/freebsd-current/20030316.freebsd-current -- Crist J.
