However, some change of this sort would be very useful -- the NO_MAN issue is the only one of two issues preventing 6.x kernels from building on an un-customized 5.x world. The other issue is changes in config(8), but that's a lot more easily worked around as it doesn't require changes to the global makefiles to fix. As someone who runs their build and remote management boxes on RELENG_5, but remote test boxes on HEAD, I'd find it very useful if we could find some solution to this. The one I've had in mind is teaching the 5.x .mk files to also know about NO_MAN -- that way at least newer RELENG_5 could build 6.x components without a full buildworld. Robert N M Watson
