Since both FreeBSD and NetBSD seem to support the BSDI QMAGIC format for
static executables, is there any hope that this is the way that you
linked this beast?
If not, do you suppose there is a way that you could?
Please?
If you did, even the BSDI folks would be beating a path to your FTP
site, and REAL programmers the world over would sing the praises of the
true programming god that you certainly must be.
(Flattery may not work, but what the heck, its worth a try).
If not, would you mind putting the .o files (or even the .c intermediate
files) up for FTP so us poor deprived NetBSDers can have some fun with a
REAL programming language.
