I will take that as >a "no", so please stop changing the subject. :( I'm not changing the subject, you asked if I cared to help, and I told you what I felt like helping with: If you want to kluge a solution for to be able to compile current on 2.X systems, go ahead, I have no interest in that. (This kind of thing breaks easily if new syscalls are added). If you want to improve our build process to become more independent of the hosting platform, I will happily help you. (This kind of thing is far more robust in the face of source changes). -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
