>Subject: tools ->printf >I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong here with my smp problem, >but I noticed that printf (the utility, not the function) is called in >/usr/src/usr.sbin/amd/Makefile.inc, but printf isn't listed as a tool in >/usr/src/Makefile.inc1. Is this the correct way for it to be (I'm not >certain of the requirements to get on the tools list). Use of printf -> /dev/null. amd/Makefile.inc is too sophisticated. The `!=' assignment that it uses to find the obj directory has some advantages, but is avoided for various reasons in hundreds of other Makefiles. (I once tried to get a variant of it to work in cc, but gave up when I hit recursion and efficiency problems. amd uses a cleverer version to avoid some of the efficiency problems.)
