Since the message I replied to wasn't the one attached to this PR, I'll briefly re-state my point, so that it makes it into the PR history: It used to be possible to compile and run a kernel without having COMPAT_43 defined. The last major signal change broke this. Someone was supposed to be working on resolving this, but I think it fell through the cracks, since it has been quite a while since that signal change. I can try and dig up more info if anyone wants (I may still have some of the e-mail archived). -Mike On Mon, Aug 14, 2000 at 09:56:51PM +1000, Darren Reed wrote: > I think the email from Mike (just recently) explained the situation - there > has been a "problem" created by changes to the signal code. > > In some email I received from Sheldon Hearn, sie wrote: > > > > > > On Mon, 14 Aug 2000 04:01:00 MST, darrenr@FreeBSD.ORG wrote: > > > > > Until one of these two routes is taken, this PR should remain open. > > > > Darren, please decide which of the 3 options I outlined works best for > > you. > > > > Ciao, > > Sheldon. -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.org or mpp@mppsystems.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
