Short answer is no.

In this case, a > whack of the clue-stick would be much appreciated. Something else causes it. I know I was misinterpreting the message. I thought libsdbm.a didn't exist and it was chmod that was missing from the make modules. You add the chmod and you may not have to do it again. I had a patch that added it and I was patching Makefile.inc1 after every cvsup. That isn't necessary. Warner (imp) suggested the fix to me and it worked. The next time I built a system, I captured the buildworld and the chmod was done there and properly. Why it wasn't done on the one that failed is beyond me. I didn't capture it of course :).
