You've played this game before! It's aout, not elf: /usr/obj/elf/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/perl/lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a: current ar archive random library whereas: /usr/obj/elf/usr/src/tmp/usr/lib/libc.a: current ar archive The `ar cr' command doesn't have a path, so it should be getting the objformat relative one from the path set by the make. This implies that OBJFORMAT has been overridden to aout somehow instead of following what the build environment has set. -- 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
