HEADS UP: new loader.rc stuff

1999-03-09 Thread Daniel C. Sobral

Hi, just in case someone is interested (i'm not a particular advocat of the need of the world and kernel being able to be compiled with something else than the system-compiler; just to show that the current sources apparently do not depend a lot on FreeBSD-specific features of gcc/binutils): appl
