It's the same system but with a name change in the triplet. "freebsd-gnu" was renamed to "kfreebsd-gnu" in config.guess to distinguish FreeBSD's kernel (which we borrow) from a full FreeBSD system (with its own userland). The "k" stands for "kernel of"; I also tend to use "KFreeBSD" informally to refer to FreeBSD's kernel. > > diff -Nur glibc-2.3.2.old/debian/sysdeps/freebsd.mk > > glibc-2.3.2/debian/sysdeps/freebsd.mk > > --- glibc-2.3.2.old/debian/sysdeps/freebsd.mk 2003-08-22 02:31:49.000000000 > > +0200 > > +++ glibc-2.3.2/debian/sysdeps/freebsd.mk 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +0100 > > [...] > > +config-os = kfreebsd-gnu > > There is no need to replace file, but only need to modify config-os. IIRC debian/sysdeps/freebsd.mk is expected to match the triplet name, and was not parsed by the build system because not being named "kfreebsd-gnu". If that's the case, then plase change config-os and rename debian/sysdeps/freebsd.mk too. -- Robert Millan "[..] but the delight and pride of Aule is in the deed of making, and in the thing made, and neither in possession nor in his own mastery; wherefore he gives and hoards not, and is free from care, passing ever on to some new work." -- J.R.R.T, Ainulindale (Silmarillion) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
