The other one being cross-release, cross-API, etc., i.e. where some incompatible changes are made. For the buildkernel, OTOH, you only need the new version of cross-tools (compiler and binutils) and bootstrap-tools (config(8) is most important thing), i.e. you only need the _bootstrap-tools and _cross-tools stages of buildworld. We don't currently provide a user-visible API to run only these stages. > You need to buildworld if you are cross building. >=20 If you are cross building the whole world, yes. If you are cross building the kernel only (e.g. building a 5.0 kernel on 4.x), see above. > ISTM that it would be nice to identify the first case and make > buildkernel depend on a built world otherwise.
