(I picking up the thread > a bit late, here). You could start by taking a FreeBSD ELF binary and seeing if it runs on the BSD/OS system, and vice-versa. You'll want something dynamically linked to test the library ABI. Then you might want to compare the syscalls.master files, and see how badly we're diverging from them. (This is an issue for anything statically linked.) -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
