Everyone: I've been building custom kernels for FreeBSD 12.0, and have noticed a message on the console, during boot, that I haven't seen from prior versions. It doesn't affect the operation of the system, but just for the sake of cleanliness (and to make sure it doesn't cause trouble later) I'd like to clean it up. The message is devmatch: can't read linker hints file Because I'm building a stripped-down kernel without klds or debugging symbols in it, the kernel build doesn't produce a linker.hints file, which I assume is what's causing the complaint. Is there a reason why I should generate such a file? Or, if I don't really need to do so, is there a way to suppress the message? --Brett Glass
