Re: [Axiom-developer] Axiom on FreeBSD - current patch set

[Mark Murray]

Hi Tim

Thanks a lot for incorporating the FreeBSD fixes! (How long does it
take for them to be visible on the publicly visible CVS server?)

No problemo. As you rather obviously know the system much better than
me, you are far more likely to come up with decent solutions than
my hacks :-).

I should have commented this - I'm somewhat prepared to just carry
a small diff like this one as a local diff in the FreeBSD port building
system. OTOH, if there is a cute way of making it work for everyone, I'd
be delighted!

Same as above.

Er, how does that work? What stops the piggyback GCL build from
happening?
