Why would one need to build a cross-compiler in order to compile userland-agnostic code for the same CPU architecture? This would be like requiring a cross-compiler in order to build things like GRUB or SeaBIOS. > Why is this hack needed? The kernel tree expects flags like __linux__ or __FreeBSD__ to have a different meaning when compiling for kernel space. Instead of "we're building code that will run on $foo", they mean "we're building $foo itself". This assumption is correct most of the time, but not always so. My patch addresses some of the situations in which the assumption fails. -- Robert Millan _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
