XF can't tell the OS, so it assumes you lack snprintf(), and tries a different way of putting strings into numbers (fcvt, ecvt, gcvt). Check the top of a log from make World to see the OS detection. If you drop a #define __FreeBSD__ in config/cf/Imake.cf, it'll detect and get at least farther along. (still having troubles compiling from their cvs, going to submit a report rsn). Hopefully we can find a bit nicer way of doing things soon. -- Eric Anholt anholt@teleport.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
