Dear all,

I looked at the list archives, but cold not find an answer to my
question.

I patched Exim (http://www.exim.org/) to make eximon (Exim
monitor, an X11 frontend) compile on NetBSD systems that use ELF
binary format.  It involved distinguishing between a.out and ELF
binary formats in the build process.  I'm a person who strongly
believes in people's constitutional right to run industrial
strength MTAs on their game consoles and web cams, but the only
NetBSD system I have runs on a SPARC...  Anyway, enough with the
introductions, now over to the questions.

Do NetBSD ports that use COFF binary formats have shared
libraries?

If I want to link a program that uses X11 on such systems
(assuming they have X11 libraries), is the -R flag to gcc needed
(as it is on ELF), or is -L enough?

Thanks in advance,
Vadik.
