The problem here is not that the libc major number needs to be bumped, but *all* other libraries that use errno.h need a major number bump. Bruce pointed this out. Bruce wants the change backed out. I haven't heard from anyone else. Should I bump the major number of all the shared libraries in the FreeBSD tree? Should I back out the change and forget about making future objects thread-aware? Should I do nothing? -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
