This would break release and all modules builds on i386. Instead, disabling the module and making COMPAT_SVR4 is a better idea, which I have done. SVR4 is broken in other ways and needs tending to, which I may do myself if I have enough time, but otherwise we shouldn't prevent an enterprising person from using COMPAT_SVR4 and fixing bugs, testing it, then submitting the fixes. -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! / green@FreeBSD.org `------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
