Looking more at our make world methodology, I'm wondering at
stuff like this:
# lib-tools - build tools to compile and install the libraries.
#
lib-tools:
cd ${.CURDIR}/usr.bin/tsort && \
${MAKE} ${MK_FLAGS} all install ${CLEANDIR} ${OBJDIR}
... ^^^^^^^^^^^
I know that one can turn this off by whacking CLEANDIR, but why even
do this at all for the intermediate build targets? We build the
miscellaneous build tools, the compiler tools and all the core
libraries only to throw away the results of all that work so that we
can come around and do it all over again when it comes time to make it
all from the top. I've looked at all the ordering issues with this
and I still can't see the logic of it. Anyone in opposition to simply
removing the ${CLEANDIR} ${OBJDIR} parts on intermediate builds?
Anything which cuts down our make world time is a good thing to me.
