Are sym links to absolute pathnames supposed to try to look in /compat/linux first? /compat/linux/usr/bin/foo -> /bin/foo I thought I recalled that Alexander said recently they _were_ supposed to look in /compat/linux first. But I don't seem to have that behavior on the 6-stable box I'm using at the moment. # ln -s /bin/foo /compat/linux/usr/bin/foo # ls -l /compat/linux/usr/bin/foo lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8 May 1 19:17 /compat/linux/usr/bin/foo -> /bin/foo # cp -p /compat/linux/bin/ls /compat/linux/bin/foo # cp -p /bin/ls /bin/foo # /compat/linux/usr/bin/foo --version foo: illegal option -- - usage: ls [-ABCFGHILPRSTUWZabcdfghiklmnopqrstuwx1] [file ...] # /compat/linux/bin/foo --version ls (coreutils) 5.2.1 Written by Richard Stallman and David MacKenzie.
