Yes, if the syscalls changed after the alpha code was snapshotted. The problem with keeping NETBSD_SYSCALLS around is that NetBSD provides backward compatibility for their stuff by fudging the defines in the headers. When we compile the NETBSD_SYSCALLS into FreeBSD's libc, we can only handle one translation and that has to match the particular kernel you've chosen. > I'm fairly sure I'm seeing a problem with my fabbed up include/machine/* > which was more or less copied direct from NetBSD/sparc and banged into > compiling stuff. (first pass shotgun debugging if you will.) OK, I'll take your word for it. 8-) -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
