FreeBSD and Linux don't use the same ELF format, do they? I thought the Compaq compiler produced Linux/Alpha binaries, in which case you would need the Linux emulator to run them. =CCf that's the case, is there really a speed increase to be gained? And even if it is, do we really want the FreeBSD ports collection to prefer building Linux/Alpha binaries over native binaries on the Alpha? - IT To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
