[Mono-devel-list] Mono-1.1.7 - NetBSD 2.0.x Support

[Bill Middleton]

This looks promising. Nice job.

A couple of suggestions:

1. Consider submitting your patch against the current SVN code.

2. Don't remove the existing *-*-*netbsd* case from configure.in. Instead, 
change it to *-*-*netbsd*1* , and even better, see if you can get things 
working with 1.6. and update the existing entry. :)

3. Don't use __NetBSD__ in libgc (dyn_load.c) libgc sets up definitions for 
NETBSD in gcconfig.h. If there is a precompiler definition exclusive to 
NetBSD2 (I hope) then make a new definition, and || where appropriate, 
unless you can test against 1.6 simultaneously. (although I know __thread 
wont work on 1.6). It also looks like GC_NETBSD_THREADS are also specific to 
2.x - perhaps GC_NETBSD2_THREADS?

I'm trying to leave the NetBSD 1.6 folks some room to work, is all.

4. The changes in mono/mini that you've made should be redone against SVN. 
Most of them were taken care of with the FreeBSD changes, I hope. Otoh, I'm 
pretty clueless about the registers on NetBSD - but are you sure you want to 
redefine:

+# define SC_EAX sc_eip
+# define SC_EBX sc_edx
+# define SC_ECX sc_eax
+# define SC_EDX sc_ecx

? Those seem odd.
