No; you're mixing things up. The compat4x stuff we have now allows you to run 4.x binaries on 5.x. The problem that WANT_COMPAT4_STDIO addresses is *compiling* 4.x compatible programs on 5.x! A world of difference. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
