@koakuma I’m going based on fuzzy memory of other architectures here. Some architectures include various flavor flags elsewhere in the ELF (maybe in notes?). This flavor is used by some ABIs for “this binary uses foo-type instructions” that the linker-loader can use. IIRC objdump can use those as well to tweak disassembly output. It’s been about 9 years since I thought about this, so I may be wrong.

I’d compare *all* of the ELF contents.

Weird. I have some #FreeBSD jails that are using VNET to get access to the LAN. At least as far as I can tell, some TCP packets sent to it exceed the MTU by quite a bit.

Everything on the server is set up with a 1500 byte MTU but I see TCP packets with 2896 bytes in the packet trace. The jail doesn't ack them, and ~0.3 seconds later the first 1448 bytes get re-transmitted.

After a few 1448-byte packets, the remote end tries another 2896 which causes a 0.3s hiccup,... yielding about 16kB/s 👎

@thomasfuchs Uh oh... what news did I miss?

@thomasfuchs not sure if this counts: netbooks
