Hi, Something we can also do, which I hadn't thought of until now, is to compare kernel images built on kfreebsd-amd64 vs. on linux amd64. An obvious difference is the ELF header:
> kfreebsd-amd64/boot/kfreebsd-9.2-1-amd64: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, > version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped > amd64/boot/kfreebsd-9.2-1-amd64: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 > (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped Maybe we ought to override that when building on non-FreeBSD? $ elfedit --output-osabi=FreeBSD boot/kfreebsd-9.2-1-amd64 Also there are some other differences, possibly explained by GCC package revision being different for each build, otherwise we could speculate it's a secret backdoor compiled into Robert's binary upload ;) Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain ste...@pyro.eu.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
