This is probably because Linux/alpha tends to be compatiable with Tru64 (OSF/1) rather than Linux/i386. > If nobody is using the linuxolator on alpha with a recent FreeBSD (either > because everything is used on x86/amd64 hardware, and/or because there's no > usable linux_base for alpha), I think it would be best to remove the linux > part from alpha. It would make the code in compat/linux cleaner. Or just undo what you did above and leave it as it is. :) I've done various things on the compat code over and haven't been really bothered by the #ifdef __alpha__'s. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
