There are still BINFORMATs lingering in there. Also, I think the right fix needs to explicitly add "-aout" to CFLAGS if OBJFORMAT is aout. Just setting OBJFORMAT in the makefile doesn't automatically export it to the environment where the tools can see it. John B. is probably asleep by now, and I'm loathe to mess with it since he knows better than I how he wants it. Please just manually set OBJFORMAT=aout and BINFORMAT=aout in your environment when building kernels, until this is fixed. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
