But, as I pointed out, things are in a ports freeze right now and that means those people are quite busy getting things tested for a release and might not have time for improving features. As for ignoring make and build settings, that should probably be put in a PR (bug report). If it is a serious bug, then it might get addressed before the release. Otherwise it won't get touched until after. ////jerry > > HTH & Thanks a lot! > > Ali
