What makes more sense is to :teach the dynamic linker to look for archetecture specific :subdirectories in order to dynamically link in a shared object :more suited to the running CPU, not the CPU it was compiled on. : :-- :-Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] What Alfred said. We could have a base version that the linker uses (and has always used... backwards compatible), and special versions that are cpu-specific that the linker uses instead of it sees them and they match the current cpu. It would work quite nicely and it wouldn't require N different copies of libc. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
