1. When an option is removed from conf/options or i386/conf/options.i386, the option isn't removed from the opt_xxx.h header even when other options in the header are changed. This is because config updates the headers in place and goes to a lot of trouble to preserve the parts of them that it doesn't understand. The simpler method of creating temporary headers and renaming the chanegd ones would work better. 2. Config always creates config.c. This breaks recent improvements in option procesing - config was careful not to touch anything if the configuration was unchanged. The more complicated method of creating a temporary config.c and renaming it if there was a change would work better. Bruce
