While looking at other things we came across ldconfig's a.out support, which hasn't been used by anything in the FreeBSD base system in ~2 decades.
I know there are (or at least recently were) folks using a.out binaries on contemporary FreeBSD. Most likely statically linked proprietary software. I'd be curious to know if anyone is still using this. As far as ldconfig goes I don't see the value in generating a.out hints; if someone is using a.out shared libraries (from FreeBSD 2.x) it seems that they can also just use FreeBSD 2.x ldconfig to generate the hints file. Is there any reason we shouldn't deprecate ldconfig a.out support? _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
