I have issues with one of them -- IMHO FSF/GCC should not assume the
existence of crt{i,n}.o since they supply their own crt{begin,end}.o
(thru crtstuff.c). There is obivious assumpitons by crtstuff.c on what
crt{i,n}.o supplies, and thus seems logical GCC come with its own
crt{i,n}.s. This is not to say I am unbending on this (and it also
carries over into JDP's teritory), but I do want to rasie this issue on
the [EMAIL PROTECTED] (after BSDcon) mailing list to see what they say.

I am tied up at BSDcon for the week. So I'll reply to this thread better
later.

Of course time is always the issue :-) David: Can you take a look at it, or shall I try to free some time for this. It sounds important enough from what I understand from Gerald. -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
