Hi!

On my last -current/i386 build I noticed that there are some files
that are built and installed into DESTDIR, though they are on some
obsolete list -- is this by purpose, or did it happen by accident?

The files are:

from comp:
/usr/lib/libbfd_pic.a
/usr/lib/libc_pic.a
/usr/lib/libcrypt_pic.a
/usr/lib/libcurses_pic.a
/usr/lib/libedit_pic.a
/usr/lib/libgnumalloc_pic.a
/usr/lib/libkvm_pic.a
/usr/lib/libm_pic.a
/usr/lib/libossaudio_pic.a
/usr/lib/libpcap_pic.a
/usr/lib/libposix_pic.a
/usr/lib/libresolv_pic.a
/usr/lib/libskey_pic.a
/usr/lib/libstdc++_pic.a
/usr/lib/libtelnet_pic.a
/usr/lib/libtermcap_pic.a
/usr/lib/libutil_pic.a
/usr/lib/libwrap_pic.a
/usr/lib/libz_pic.a

man:
/usr/share/man/cat1/ld.so.0
/usr/share/man/cat1/rtld.0
/usr/share/man/cat3/dlclose.0
/usr/share/man/cat3/dlctl.0
/usr/share/man/cat3/dlerror.0
/usr/share/man/cat3/dlfcn.0
/usr/share/man/cat3/dlopen.0
/usr/share/man/cat3/dlsym.0
/usr/share/man/cat8/fdisk.0
/usr/share/man/man1/ld.so.1
/usr/share/man/man1/rtld.1
/usr/share/man/man3/dlclose.3
/usr/share/man/man3/dlctl.3
/usr/share/man/man3/dlerror.3
/usr/share/man/man3/dlfcn.3
/usr/share/man/man3/dlopen.3
/usr/share/man/man3/dlsym.3
/usr/share/man/man4/sun3/leds.4
/usr/share/man/man8/fdisk.8

secr:
/usr/lib/libcom_err_pic.a
/usr/lib/libcrypt_pic.a
/usr/lib/libdes_pic.a
/usr/lib/libkadm_pic.a
/usr/lib/libkafs_pic.a
/usr/lib/libkdb_pic.a
/usr/lib/libkrb_pic.a
/usr/lib/libkstream_pic.a
/usr/lib/libss_pic.a
/usr/lib/libtelnet_pic.a
/usr/share/man/cat1/telnet.0
/usr/share/man/man1/telnet.1

(those last two seem especially bogus)

What's the proper solution for this? Should the _pic.a files be
installed at all? And why are those man pages on the obsolete lists?

Bye,
 Thomas

PS: Please CC me, I'm not on these lists.
