Doug, I wonder what compiler you're using. Is it the latest development version in the source tree? I think it's a good idea to have easy access to an IA-64 toolschain, whether it's the one in the source tree or a port. Although I prefer the source tree. It would be nice for example if we could select the compiler (either /usr/src/contrib/gcc.295 or /usr/src/contrib/gcc) and corresponding tools and libraries by defining a single variable (for example: USE_UNSTABLE_TOOLCHAIN (or whatever)). This makes it much easier to pick up the development compiler for those with specific needs (ie IA-64 support) and therefore allows people to approach the IA-64 porting task from a more cross-build related perspective as well. David: does the development compiler in the source tree serve this purpose as well, or doesn't it track development closely enough to have all the very latest fixes in it? -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
