Our best > FreeBSD minds don't think it can be done properly and sanely. I have the patch. Currently it is made against RELENG_4 and I have a couple of questions about alpha (however it works on alpha too with a few hacks). Unfortunately, jdp does not have enough time to review it and I have lack of time to port it to -current (that would not be that hard but since sparc64 is now Tier-1 platform the patch should be ported to sparc64 too but I do not have sparc64 hardware and access to panther is very slow from my home). What is the right place to post the patch and test program demonstrating dlopen for statically linked programs? /fjoe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
