People, PLEASE study the build system before making > these "just do xxx" suggestions! This will NOT work! We *know* that the FreeBSD build system has bugs which make this not "just work" - you're already doing work on src/Makefile, *.mk and so on, and that's certainly necessary. However, the point we're trying to put across is that it shouldn't be necessary to modify/break current behaviour of make(1) to do it.
