it works - 1 tried it with FreeBSD 2.0.5 and NetBSD 1.0 - the only thing you
have to do is an "ar -xv" of the FreeBSD library (using an FreeBSD ar) and
then rebuild the lib using the NetBSD ar - thus you only need an FreeBSD ar

they don't work

please also look at my article "COMPAT_FreeBSD" in this group
