I'm off-list at the moment, so please be gentle when replying :-)
I've told a colleague that the -Q option to ld still works under 2.2.5,
and will generate an executable which stands a better-than-even chance
of running under BSD/OS 2.0 from BSDI.
Have I mislead my colleague? I don't have a BSDI system nearby to
check, so all I have is the manpage, which could be out of date
(especially with the way we and BSDI have tended to follow a "MAGIC-of-
the-month" style development rationale :-)
As a supplementary question, does said executable have to be statically
linked? If any part of BSDI compatibility was going to fall over I'd
guess it'd be that...
Any other pitfalls with building under FreeBSD and running under BSDI?
[ we have a commercial application here which will run on lots of platforms;
we're working out a least-effort path for building it ]
