As I have a number of machines to sync, and we regularly install and decomission machines here, it seems like one possible addition to the global makefile might be something which spits out the following in an installworld or reinstall: Warning: Built with -DNOPROFILE but not set; using it anyway. Warning: Built with -DNOGAMES but not set; using it anyway. Warning: Built with -DMAKE_KERBEROS4 but not set; using it anyway. Possibly followed by sleep(1) to give the user a second to see this. This would require state retained following a build to indicate how the build was managed. Given that I build -stable and -current on one machine, and then install to others, it would be helpful; a lot easier for debugging problems like that for new users also, I would guess.
