Also, all local assembler names are wrong (gprof -u doesn't hide them), and high resolution profiling (config -pp) is completely broken (i386/prof_machdep.c doesn't even compile). I should make it the default so that it gets maintained. Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
