The sysutils/env4801 utility is always statically linked. This causes problems when the utility is compiled and linked on a system with a libc optimized for e.g. prescott (a build box) and later deployed on an i586 net4801. Fix: The patch below adds an option for linking env4801 dynamically instead of statically. How-To-Repeat: # cd /usr/ports/sysutils/env4801 # make install clean # ldd /usr/local/sbin/env4801

Seems like the right thing [tm] to me. Kind regards, Patrick

I thought about that, but thought it was best not to change current behaviour. After all, the author of env4801 clearly intended it to be linked statically. If you think otherwise, feel free to change the option to a default of 'Off'. Regards, Brix -- Henrik Brix Andersen <henrik@brixandersen.dk>
