What a surprise... gnu software that does not do things by the rules. (sarcasm intended).

Over in ports, it's easy to get more and more fed-up with `the GNU system', a large mass of incestuous kludges, where the shell is alway bash, m4 is always gnu-m4, yacc is always bison, ar always takes shortcuts because it's part of binutils, -lpthread is the way to do threads, and you link with -lresolv because it's there, not because you need it.

So, it's nothing new.

The sheer existence of BSD is a good thing, because otherwise there might be the One Implementation of Unix tools, to rule them and in the dorkness bind them... about as ood as Microsoft. Received on Thu Jan 30 04:57:54 2003
