The tools in /usr/obj that are specifically compiled to run on the build machine need to be linked against the libraries in /usr/lib. In this case the build machine is incompatible with the install machine, simply because the binaries and libraries were optimized for the build machine and by that unusable on the install machine. This is just as bad as building on Alpha and installing on IA-32. To make the build process a bit more resistant, we can force bootstrap, build and cross tools to be dynamicly linked instead of staticly linked. We should not add strip to installworld. Think about what would happen if we did a source upgrade on FreeBSD 2.2.5 and basicly install ELF over aout. We would be using an aout strip on ELF files... -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
