Recompiling is NOT the cure and people should not focus on it. If one needs to recompile anything after a commit, then commit breaks ABI which usually should be accompanied with a very good explanation of why it was necessary. David's commit does not appear to fall into that category and his changes are ABI compatible as far as userland is concerned. --=20 Alexander Kabaev --Sig_/0durCfU6KXlFwlBs1IqYe_1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFIaibgQ6z1jMm+XZYRAvEJAJ9d3go7DFFJt5QtPAudfcpZu74kQQCfYeHK BPv7UcB5ZBJew+vB+cVOXHs= =vzTX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/0durCfU6KXlFwlBs1IqYe_1--
