What does 'env' say? Pretty plain: PWD=/root PAGER=more FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES HOSTNAME=foundation.brotsman.test PS1=\n(\h:\l) [\u:\w]\n\d \t\n\$ BLOCKSIZE=K USER=root MACHTYPE=i386--freebsd4.4 MAIL=/var/mail/root LOGNAME=root SHLVL=1 SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash HOSTTYPE=i386 OSTYPE=freebsd4.4 TERM=cons25 HOME=/root PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin _=/usr/bin/env 'ldd' reports that the binaries are "not a dynamic executable", the stripped bins are much larger than distribution, and I note libc functions such as strcpy() in the .text segment of the unstripped versions. FWIW, I just did a clean install on another drive (not the above env), and observed the same static linking. No compiler or linker food in my env. Out-of-box source, Makefiles, et cetera. It's nothing insurmountable... I can force dynamic linking, then use static on /bin, /sbin, /boot, and so on... but I'm puzzled why _everything_ is [seemingly] static by default. Has anyone else done a "make buildworld" on 4.4-R? I can't see why I'd obtain different behavior than anyone else, but 1) the binary release is clearly dynamically linked where one expects and 2) mine are beyond a doubt using static linking. I'm confused...
