By this, I mean these parts of the source tree, as supplied in -current, do not compile with egcs (either due to incompatibilities between the C++ include files, incompatible language semantics, missing compiler features (-aout) or whatever). If the broken parts are discarded in the future, then all the better :) The biosboot code needs to be below a certain length to fit in the bootblock (or something), and egcs compiling this code produces a result which exceeds this length. Mike is renovating the bootstrap code at the moment, so this probably isnt a big problem. As for easily fixed, I'm sure at least some of it is, but since I don't have the skills to do it myself I'm not going ot make a big deal out of it :-) Kris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
