ldargs

[UniRock]

Hello Geeks,

In my /stand/current there is an extra file named "ldargs" which is not present in /stand/last_install.
Just out of curiosity, I want to know, whats the use of this file and why it is absent in "last_install".

ldargs contains the arguments to ld to build the kernel. It's probably left there for debugging kernel build problems.
