Might some stalwart soul wish to make the all dependencies in the /sys tree work properly relative to a copy of LINT in /sys/compile/LINT? That is to say, the ancient bugaboo for which I came under much fire with my "fix" for in config (that blows away your old /sys/compile/<kern> directory unless you config -n or set NO_CONFIG_CLOBBER). If you config a kernel and leave it there, even after having done a depend, it will slowly rot as changes occur in /sys that don't force rebuilds of appropriate sources as they should. If everything was depended properly and config could also be taught to tweak /sys/compile/<kern> correctly when options were just added or deleted, then we'd have a nice kernel build system that didn't require any directories to be blown away and I'd happily reverse the default behavior on config; it'd only blow it away if you ASKED it to. And no, I don't want to hear from those who's opinion is "reverse it now! why wait!" - I've already heard from you, and opinions I'm completely familiar with I don't really need to hear again.. :-) Jordan
