Re: xen-kernel boot fix: AT&T vs. GNU od(1)

[ольга крыжановская <olga.kryzhanovska%gmail.com@localhost>]

The AT&T AST od(1) from ast-open.2011-02-08 passes all POSIX and
Single UNIX Specification tests and has been certified for OSX and
Solaris 11. The GNU od(1) does not pass any of these tests and has
known bugs. IMO this makes clear which od(1) is wrong and which one is
the right: The AST od(1)
