I'm using linux_base-gentoo-stage3-2006.0_2 for my 6.2-RELEASE system's Linux emulation. It works perfectly for my Linux apps - better than the recommend linux_base-fc4 port, in fact - but has a strange problem. Whenever I install new software using Gentoo's "emerge" tool, the resulting binaries have weird permissions. For example:
$ ls -la /compat/linux/usr/bin/pcretest ----rwS--T 1 root wheel 33828 Feb 8 17:13 /compat/linux/usr/bin/pcretest I found a similar question in the freebsd-emulation list (<URL:http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2006-December/002937.html>), and it seems that the problem is trigged by the utimes() syscall. Has anyone found a workaround to this problem? It doesn't look like it's been patched in FreeBSD itself yet, and I haven't gotten a reply from the author of the above post when I asked him if he'd solved the problem. Neither was I able to find the patch he mention. Any pointers would be most appreciated! I'm getting tired of manually fixing the permissions on every file I install (and hoping that 755 for exes is correct). -- Kirk Strauser
