I hope with the Sun and DEC Alpha ports of FreeBSD looming on the horizon, that "native" ELF support will eventually be the default. However, I think that you can build world with an ELF target to get a fully ELFable system, however a few things relying on an a.out kernel will break. > PS - Will we end up supprting DWARF? Or remain with stabs? I think both gdb and gcc have support for Dwarf 1 & 2, so there _should_ be support for it. If you really want to find out, you can always try, as it should be as simple as -gdwarf+, however, YMMV. Linux: The Microsoft Windows(tm) of the Unix(tm) world. - alex
