Sort of. The way it historically built was by taking advantage of the fact that C allows multiple #define's if they are the same. My commit changed the definition of BYTE_ORDER to _BYTE_ORDER instead of LITTLE_ENDIAN or BIG_ENDIAN. The reason this didn't show up as a problem on i386 was because of a <sys/types.h> include (which includes <machine/endian.h>) earlier in the source file. <machine/endian.h> (apparently this is spelled <endian.h> on other systems) should always be included before fiddling with the byte order manifest constants. Your commit which included <sys/types.h> on alpha "fixed" this problem in the same way the i386 case is "fixed". Where "fixed" is defined as a side-effect of fixing another problem. :) Best regards, Mike Barcroft To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
