NetBSD 3.0 NetBSD 3.0 (WITHSUNOS) #0: Mon Jun 12 22:40:11 EDT 2006
root@:/usr/src/sys/arch/sun3/compile/WITHSUNOS sun3
>Description:
When doing a 'file' on a sun3 dynamically linked executable, both SunOS NetBSD
report the same thing: mc68020 demand paged dynamically linked executable not
stripped.
But when doing a 'file' on a sun3 statically linked executable, NetBSD does not
document that the file is 'executable'. NetBSD shows: mc68020 demand paged not
stripped, while SunOS shows: mc68020 demand paged executable not stripped".
Although its a pretty good hint that the file is an exectuble, being that
NetBSD shows "mc68020", I believe that the magic file could be improved by
having it say "mc68020 executable" or such for statically linked executables.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create statically linked executable under Sun3 SunOS 4.1.1, then copy to any
NetBSD system.
>Fix:
Update the magic file to change "mc68020" to "mc68020 executable" and change
"dynamically linked executable" to "dynamically linked".
