If so, I think Lydon said that he had some success there. I don't know if that is exactly the compiler that we need. My impression, is that we really need a freebsd-sparc compiler. I have been using the NetBSD sparc gcc for my playing around, but we will need a FreeBSD version soon. The problem I see is that the NetBSD compiler will build a.out binaries, however FreeBSD needs elf binary files. Oh, While I'm posting to the group, I have a question: The big unknown for me though is what is going to happen with the merger between Walnut Creek CDROM and BSDi. Will there be an effort (other than this one) to merge BSDi sparc with FreeBSD? Untill I find out, I have stopped working on kernel level stuff ( I was working on porting the loader) and started working on the userland part of the port. I am trying to modify the FreeBSD make files to build the userland (make buildworld) in a source tree NFS mounted to my sparc... Obviously this won't _just_ work... I know that we will need to hack some kind of libc together that will allow FreeBSD userland programs to use the NetBSD kernel... I'll fill you in on the details as I figure them out. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Mark Tempel mtempel@visi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
