Even if were true, it seems such would only be for self-hosted builds, not cross-builds. Even for self-host builds, it is not true as I understand. (May be there is some implicit expectations/principles that I'm missing that automatically covers the related issues, but cross-builds seem to not be covered by parts of the discussion.) === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
