Some of the work arounds don't work or produce working binarys now (iirc). : My original understanding was that the new method used the tools in : /usr/obj instead of in /usr/bin, in order to build kernels with : freshly built tools, rather than the tools from the previous build. : Late postings imply something more complicated has happened. : Is that true? No. It is just a matter of needing up to date tools. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
