Yes, these three ELF Tool Chain tools (ar, elfdump, brandelf) all originated in FreeBSD, and I left them to the end of the ELF Tool Chain integration project as the in-tree versions work and have a few features not yet in ELF Tool Chain. In any case, I think it's probably because of the Linuxolator updates that brandelf slipped my mind. I prefer not having to modify binaries for normal Linuxolator use, and perhaps we can just deprecate brandelf. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
