With modules now basically working we should either retire or move some of these items to pkgsrc so that the interested parties maintain them. An awful lot of the compat stuff is now very compartmentalised, with not much more work to do.Is all compat code i386 specific?
No, bjh12@ got Linux emulation working for arm for example. And I don't think irix ever rather on x86 :-)
Otherwise, do modules really work on all architectures involved? Can a module built from third-party code be linked statically to a monolithic kernel without hassle, for systems on which enabling loadable modules is not allowed?
Good questions. -- Stephen
