Satoshi: how about trying them on bento and get bento to ELF ASAP. We have Bento for 3.0 package testing / building. Seems now is the time to take a look at this. If setting OBJFORMAT=aout will still build a.out's we can ship a.out's if nessicary, and also let us know if this is a possiblity. The worst that can happen is we move Bento to ELF and have to do a fresh install from the latest 3.0-SNAPSHOT. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
