I am playing around with 3.0-19980804-SNAP on a quad PPro Dell box. We primarily run NetBSD, and I was surprised that there are no COMPAT_NETBSD options, and nothing in /usr/ports/emulators for NetBSD. Is there any support (or planned support) for running ``modern'' (post-1.2) NetBSD executables? When I try it, executables bomb out on the stat13 syscall, and I'm guessing there might be some other similar emulation issues involved. FWIW, NetBSD can run FreeBSD executables, so I can always recompile everything under FreeBSD and run it on all our machines, but I'd rather not invest that effort until we've torture tested FreeBSD for a few days/weeks -- chicken-and-egg problem. But it appears I have no choice? Thanks. Brian -- "If you get 100 power engineers in a room, 101 of them will work this problem like this." - R. P.
