Not cofirmed. Though libkern.a is no longer part of the kernel build, i've just tried this against a SunOS 5.1 machine, with various mount methods (NFSv2, NFSv3, TCP, UDP), and all of them were correctly able to create and ranlib such a library. Are you sure you aren't suffering from an empty file accidentally left over from an aborted build? If that's not the case, please investigate more what's wrong with the data of your libkern.a. If nobody else can reproduce it, it's hard to help you here. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
