FreeBSD (-like) systems, and also that GNU/FreeBSD distributions There are enough other changes in Gentoo/FreeBSD that would stop from being able to use binaries built on Gentoo/FreeBSD on vanilla FreeBSD, more or less like building on Debian stops you from using (most) binaries on SuSE. But as long as they don't set ./configure --host parameter explicitly, it should be all fine, beside the soname of the NEEDED entries, which is actually, in my opinion, a good thing. But please also note that this is _not_ a GNU/FreeBSD project :) -- Diego Flameeyes Pettenò http://blog.flameeyes.eu/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Hello Mike, Please post patches to the libtool-patches list in the future, thanks. * Mike Frysinger wrote on Sat, Feb 16, 2008 at 09:48:52AM CET: i dont know if there's a policy on this, but we've been treating the shared libraries in the Gentoo/FreeBSD port like Linux shared libraries. we control this based upon the vendor field in the toolchain tuple.

At least with GNU/Linux, the vendor field is completely useless -- what about spin-offs of Gentoo for example, what do they use? What do the others think?

I'm running a gentoo/alt-prefix inside Interix on Windows, which i think could also be titled gentoo, but for sure does not behave fully like linux :) Cheers, Markus Cheers, Ralf 2008-02-16 Diego Pettenò [EMAIL PROTECTED] * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4: Treat Gentoo/FreeBSD shareds libs as Linux.
