Most certainly wrong for those using FreeBSD for embedded devices. I, for instance, build on nice, fast Athlons, then install in devices ranging from 500 Mhz K6-2s all the way down to 266 Mhz Geodes. We can always do multiple library builds and select the correct .so as we build an install image for a particular platform, but it sure makes the process longer and more error-prone. You should see sshd key generation crawl on a Geode 266 with no keyboard to bang on. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
