Functional. The so-called ``image activator'' (the part of the kernel that performs the actual object file loading) has been around there since March, 1996. > 2) Is there an ELF-Kit (ld.so shared libs, etc) available ??? Yes, partially (the tools are available, but i think you gotta compile your own libs if you wanna experiment with it). Anyway, it's not very likely that FreeBSD 2.2 will ship with ELF being the default object format. You haven't told us why you are asking... By now, it's simply `experimental'. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
