Modified files:
sys/alpha/osf1 imgact_osf1.c
Log:
exec_osf1_imgact() should return -1 for non OSF1/ECOFF binaries, it should
not return ENOEXEC. This is because image activators should return -1 if they
don't claim an image. They should return ENOEXEC if they do claim it,
but cannot load it due to sime problem with the image. This bug was
preventing static compilation of the osf/1 module. I'm surprised it
did not cause more problems.
Revision Changes Path
1.3 +2 -2 src/sys/alpha/osf1/imgact_osf1.c
I've added a COMPAT_OSF1 option to the alpha port, so your way is
technically clear to add COMPAT_LINUX. There are still the dynamic
syscall generation issues to sort out, though..
