Furthermore it >ensures that the installed 'kernel' and 'kernel.debug' stay in-sync. There seems to be some target for 'kernel-install.debug' in the makefile that is generated to compile the kernel. However, that looks like it ends up doing: install -c -m 555 -o root -g wheel -fschg kernel.debug /kernel There also seems to be a 'modules-install.debug', which seems to be exactly the same as 'modules-install'... Since I want to do a buildworld for something else right now, I'm also poking thru these makefiles to see if I can get 'installkernel' to install the modules WITHOUT debug symbols, even when DEBUG=-g is set.
