No. I tried using a symbolic link from /usr/src to the NFS mounted directory, but I kept getting caught up in the way that the include files and directories are installed. When I mounted the directory directly, these problems went away. I don't know if it is a problem with the style of build that FreeBSD uses or the hybrid tools that result from building one OS on another. If you have source directly in /usr/src you have nothing to worry about. I thought I'd mention it just in case. > > I plan on playing with this this afternoon. Good. I've hacked a local version of version of libc and I'll try to get the build further today (although I really should be working on paid stuff). I need to ask some design questions of a few people before I can finalize how libc will be. I'll only be able to commit changes to libc after those decisions have been made.
