The problem is that .ko's on amd64 are handled by link_elf_obj.c and not link_elf.c, thus if link_elf.c is first in the list of linker file handlers, then every .ko on amd64 is first going to try link_elf.c which fails and emits the error and then get loaded successfully by link_elf_obj.c. Probably what should happen is that the linker error message should be cached somehow and only print out the last error if the overall load fails. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
