One (w2xo) is an upgrade from 3.0-SNAP-971225 and the other (shazam) is a clean installation from scratch. shazam works just fine. w2xo, however, kept complaining about missing libraries, noteably libc.so.2.2. I dumped the hints from ldconfig -r for a.out and the libraries in question were there. Upon searching the lists, etc for some hint about this problem,I noticed that there was, or could be, a file in /etc call objformat that defined the default object format. I tried making this file and setting the default to a.out. Voila! No more problems. However, I was lead to believe that this only defined the object format output from the compiler. I'd really like to have the compiler make elf binaries, so this is a bad fix. The other problem I have encountered on w2xo, not shazam, is that binaries installed from packages fail on a kerberos error. Ports compiled on w2xo run fine.
