The stabs line is pointless as far as I can see. Just delete it rather than commenting it out. > > BTW, do we actually use pal.s for anything? A kernel links fine with > out it. It seems we 100% use in-line macros rather than these routines.

For gcc, it should be removed from the link, I guess. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Phone: +44 20 8348 6160 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
