Subject: libkern.a going away
Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk

I'm about to nuke libkern.a to ensure that all objects are compiled with
the correct ${CFLAGS}.  This will also ensure that all objects are
compiled with the same <sys> and <machine> directories.  Objects that
are currently in the library will be specified by putting their sources
in files.${MACHINE}.  The set of necessary objects has to be machine-
dependent to save space but kernel-independent so that lkms can depend
on all the necessary functions being present.

Does anyone want to do this better or differently?

Bruce
