This time I wanted to link linux.ko. The man page for 'linux' suggests to put "options COMPAT_LINUX" in KERNCONF. I did exactly so, only to see build failure. Failure says unknown option COMPAT_LINUX. With little poking around I figured out the options is COMPAT_LINUX32 and this did make sense as only i386 Linux binaries are supported. I guess man page is in error and needs some love. Masoom Shaikh --Boundary-00=_ddIQLj4nYL/J1Rv--
