> Uhm... not to sound patronizing, but this has been discussed already. > You have to do the following things: Yes, I know it's been discussed already (though I somehow didn't flash on the rpcgen stuff until later - it's been a pretty busy week, OK? My cache was flushed several times :-) but it's still largely irrelevant. The tree is broken. It should be fixed. It should require NO, NADA, NONE, ZIP, ZERO special actions to allow a `make world' to work and if we've screwed up the toolchain dependencies then we need to fix those or we need to eliminate the dependencies altogether. I don't think that this is too much to ask, and the tree has successfully bootstrapped itself at many times in its history (often from considerably "far back") and think that, at the very MINIMUM, -current should always be capable of bootstrapping itself from the last major release. This is not the case now, the tree is broken. QED. Jordan
