For anyone experimenting with FreeBSD/alpha at the moment, please avoid trying to use shared libraries for the next couple of days and keep your systems static. The nice folks at Cygnus have managed to change the shared object format in such a way that shared executables and libs linked eith binutils-2.8.1 are totally incompatible with those linked with binutils-2.9.1. Since we haven't released anything yet, I will only be supporting the 2.9.1 format in rtld but I have some more testing to do before I can commit that so stay static for the next few days. For any of the NetBSD folks reading this list, be warned that you will get grief from binutils if/when you upgrade your toolchain to binutils-2.9.1. To be specific, the PLT format has changed and you will probably need two versions of _rtld_bind_start for the new and old formats :-(. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
