As Uwe hinted, this of course has nothing to do with a distribution but rather a specific package. Long term, we work with upstream for that package. Short term, I like Ron's test at buildtarget time, and saving that in a Make.buildparam.or.whatever in the freshly created build directory.

Almost, it seems to output the number of times the string is found. I suggest ld --help|grep -q build-id instead, which may even be slightly easier to work with in a script. //Peter -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
