Is there anyway you guys could change your code so that you only use systemcalls that can be mapped on freebsd. The latest pol cores currently use "sys_set_thread_area" and assuamble "sys_get_thread_area" which unfortunatly currently aren't supported by freebsd.
Umm off hand I think you can do this by using --disable-tls switch on gcc you may wish to make a seperate build for this as their maybe some preformance hit ( dunno how much ).

I'll get an account on a freebsd so I'll test it (if I'll find some time). my gcc doesn't know "--disable-tls" /

after tons of testings @ a FreeBSD 6.1... I found out, that Pol will start up (no error in start.log) if I remove some lines using two variables inside Core.
DON'T ask me why this is neccessary... it seems, that FreeBSD doesn't love last_checkpoint and num_until_dot var... that's strange... really strange.
...
Another problem: backstack doesn't help here. I don't get the information I need. both problems above are found via tons of additional cout-logs. know I've a crash inside my start.ecl on a line defining a part of my teleporters-array. backstack is near empty... no idea yet.
...
I've compiled stuff with same gcc-props like linux release (plus -static)...
Any Idea?

p.s.: FreeBSD runs on a VM (I think it's VirtualPC @ Win2k+3... not sure), so I'm compiling it on a gentoo, scp it, "brandelf -t Linux pol"'it and run'it

jfyi: I had saveral problems with the freebsd account, but no I've used my own Virtual PC 2004 and installed a FreeBSD 6.1 there to solve the problems. in parallel I'll try to get Pol build there... @ the moment STLport will not compile... it hates me
I will love you for ever if you get me a binary for BSD. Doesn't have to be supported. Love to move my shard onto 096. Thanks for all the work your doing !!!

the problem here: I can get it running the start-up process, but than, later, it will crash... last weekend I had to get my own VM with BSD, because my other line is broken... it tooks many of time to test, because I don't understand why it will not work...
I`m posted messages in pol097 bugs..
