Most likely it's low priority given all the other exp-runs that affect = 7.x/8.x, tweaking things for an 6.x-EOL-tagged tree, and a bunch of = other infrastructure stuff. Not to mention the impending 7- and 8- = RELEASEs. Then of course there's the issue (which is certainly getting better) of = finding a point in time along the -CURRENT path where the tree is stable = (sic) enough to get through a full ports run (which is one of the bigger = internal stress tests we have of the system). IMO, the best approach would be to make sure it does the right thing = with 'make universe' (twice, naturally, the second time being when all = traces of the previous binutils has been purged from the building = system). Once that's done, commit (please bump __FreeBSD_version as = part of this, in case ports OSVERSION hacks are eventually needed), and = then give the exp-run a whirl -- with all of the above, this should be = nicely after 7.4/8.2 -aDe
