An OS abstracts the differences in underlying hardware, for the benefit of the software it hosts. If there is code that compiles on FreeBSD for one platform, and does not compile on FreeBSD for another, either the code is hardware-specific, or the OS is not doing its job. In this case, I believe the OS is not doing its job, according to POSIX. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
