Thanks!  I do have a puzzle for you:  I've been comparing several
OS's and find they are remarkably different WRT stdint.h.
FBSD5 and NetBSD-CURRENT both have stdint.h in /usr/include/sys
and a symlink pointing to it from /usr/include.
OpenBSD-CURRENT (forging orthogonally as usual) has no stdint.h.

DFly has *three* stdint.h's:  /usr/include, /usr/include/sys, and
/usr/include/machine -- all different.
So, why three different stdint.h in DFly?


For the present, I'm just trying to get GRUB to compile, and I can see
that this header is involved somehow.

So, how about you tell us what the actual issue is comlpete with error
messages?
That or I'll compile the port myself today. :P
Well, I solved the compilation problem:  I did 'CCVER=gcc34 make' and
I nearly fell off my chair when it worked :o)
The finished grub executable doesn't quite work, unfortunately -- it
doesn't recognize my disks when using the grub interactive shell.  Any
hints would be welcome.
Thanks!
