:> Binaries in /bin and /sbin are compiled statically, which makes them unusable
:> with NSS modules.
:> This is IMHO the biggest remaining issue with this release.

:Just curious - hasn't this been the case for some time?
:And if so / not - why did this become an issue for you now?

:Not taking one side or another, just wondering about more background info,
:though I do seem to recall a rather strong position taken *against*
:dynamic /bin /sbin in this project when FreeBSD switched to dynamic
:builds in the freebsd ~6.x-7.x era

:Cheers,

I think I'm the only one who is really against making /bin and /sbin
dynamic. I feel kinda silly standing on top of the hill holding up
the red flag :-(.
I really hate the concept of a /rescue. I could live with a nullfs
overloading of /bin and /sbin, but so far nobody (including I) has
thought up a good clean way to do it and still have the safety of
static binaries in single-user mode.
