Ok. Now that we've established that the "platform" keyword is not needed, is there any meaning we attach to MACHINE that conflicts with the meaning it must have in order to solve the mips/powerpc problem? Or do we not attach a certain meaning to MACHINE that we should attach to it? For example: When building world, we can test for MACHINE_ARCH and MACHINE. Do you need to select a (default) compiler target based on MACHINE or not? -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
