Does M3 build on that > platform? Do you suppose that "csup" will when it's finished? It already does. Csup builds and runs fine on FreeBSD/i386, sparc64, amd64, ia64 and alpha. It works with both -STABLE and -CURRENT, and it also works with libc_r, libthr and libkse. Or at least, last time I checked :-). Cheers, Maxime
