Or more importantly, has anyone > found a workaround for it? rm /usr/ports/editors/xemacs21/files/patch-aj I have no idea what the right "ports" way to really fix this is. The problem here is that xemacs21's patch-aj is setting up a special case for alpha which omits /usr/lib/crti.o and /usr/lib/crtn.o. I don't pay much attention to such things. I assume these files did not exist on the alpha at some point in the past, but the toolchain changed sometime prior to 4.3-RELEASE so these files now exist on the alpha. When did that change occur? Is it far enough in the past so that it is safe to simply cvs rm that patch? Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
