I'm slowly tracking down the remaining minor issues with my all-static crunchgen-ed /rescue implementation. This includes pretty much everything from /bin and /sbin, as well as a few useful tools from /usr/bin and /usr/sbin.
However, I've just run into an ugly problem. Specifically, devd is now written in C++ (as of a few weeks ago) and crunchgen does _not_ play well with C++ programs. For now, this means that devd will not be in /rescue. I'm not entirely happy about this. Policy question: Is C++ considered acceptable in /bin and /sbin? (I presume so, since Warner's doing it.) Technical Question: Does anyone know how to get crunchgen to play nicely with C++ programs? (I've tried a couple of simple changes to the generated makefile with no success.) Usability Question: How necessary is devd likely to be for people recovering from serious disaster? (Imagine that /usr, /bin, and /sbin are all broken. Will some people require devd to get a network adapter or hot-plug CD-ROM running, for example?)
