The patch: <http://people.freebsd.org/~jb/elf.patch>; moves all the relocation definitions for each arch from the machine/elf.h header to sys/elf_common.h. This will allow DTrace running hosted on one FreeBSD arch connect to a target FreeBSD arch to trace it. Although this isn't functionality that Sun has in OpenSolaris, FreeBSD needs to support embedded targets. I have tested all the arches define in 'make universe', but it seems that PPC and ARM aren't up to that stage yet. Note that this patch also contains the extra things that Sun has added to their ELF format. I doubt this patch will cause any problems on either PPC or ARM. Any problems? -- John Birrell
