Take a look at src/tools/build/Makefile. Last time I checked (July 19, 2005) there were only the following diffs when verifying cross-builds (verifying included doing a native build and binary comparing it with a cross-build made on i386/amd64): : *: : /usr/lib/libsupc++.a:vec.o symbols with generated names : /usr/lib/libobjc.a:NXConstStr.o : /usr/lib/libobjc.a:Object.o : /usr/lib/libobjc.a:Protocol.o : : i386 <- amd64 : /usr/sbin/isdn* timestamp (__TIME__) (i386 only) : : sparc64 <-> amd64 : /usr/share/misc/magic*.mgc mkmagic not endianness clean -- Ruslan Ermilov ru@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer
