There is? I've never seen that on the gcc mailing lists that I'm on. What flavor of ELF? Linux's or Solaris' or Uniware's or some other SYSV4.2? Granted, the last three are almost the same. >Given this and *if* there are no plans for FreeBSD to support ELF (I >can't remember seeing a discussion about it), then won't this pose a >problem for continued use of GCC on FreeBSD? No, it won't. GCC supports FreeBSD's shared libraries w/o any problems.
