FreeBSD != SysV. 1) I don't plan _emulate_ SysV with this change, only save porters work time. 2) We already _emulate_ SysV (IBCS2 stuff), so FreeBSD almost == SysV :-) >(Now, those one or two things that SysV actually got right, those >might be worth emulating.

That I mean when say that this infection is de-facto standard. All commecrial vendors and even MSDOS C Compilers have this file. We can have different emotions about this file, but we can't negate its existance. I was agree with you until I done several ports myself and really tired edit every C file to undef this file. If you try to port few Linux things yourself, you understand me :-) -- Andrew A.
