Hi, I just reinstalled FreeBSD on a bunch of my computers and I sure did see a lot of things I missed. Sigh. Anyway, I am happy to report that the FreeBSD Linux emulation is now capable of running the Linux version of CMU Common Lisp (CMUCL), minus the segfault-based page protection garbage collector. That wouldn't be too much worth reporting if it wasn't for the fact that this puts the 32-bit Linux emulation in FreeBSD ahead of the 32-bit environment in the 2.6.10 AMD64 Linux kernel. I just thought this is a cute little detail :-) I had to do a hack to the VM system to make mmap() addresses be given out where a Linux kernel will give them out. Not sure this is worth patching, and we don't seem to have a Linux frontend for mmap and I wouldn't like to hack up the general mmap call like I do now.
