But I got curious about the "proper links to the contrib directory" above, so I looked, and there are no symbolic links in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin (esp. the gdb subdirectory). I understand the philosophy behind /usr/src/contrib, but I'm not sure I fully understand how it works in practice when making the world. Do you have to do something special to get the /usr/src/contrib version of an application to be the one used? Are there supposed to be symbolic links pointing into /usr/src/contrib if that's the one being used? (Do you get the /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin version of an app. by default unless you take some additional step?) -- Brent J. Nordquist / bjn@visi.com +1 612 827-2747
