> Personally, I feel that the "make" process is far from adequate. > IMHO, I should be able to doo all of the following: The entire world target (along with most of the other targets in /usr/src/Makefile) is something that's just mutated along the way since 1.0 days. It's not clean, it rebuilds a number of things gratuitiously (I think at one point we were rebuilding libc 3 times!! :-) and with each passing month it just gets more and more hacked as people add more special cases in. You want to embark on a program of Makefile reform, be my guest! If you can actually bring some sanity to the entire build process then I will personally hire the girl to kiss you! :-) [send me a private note if you've some other preference.. :-)] Jordan
