I brought this up in v1.0 and was scolded badly and told to "fix it myself".... A quick sample: in files.i386: i386/isa/filename.o optional dn device-driver in configuration file: device dn0 at isa? port 0x240 net irq 11 vector dnintr generates the following dependency in the Makefile in the build directory.... filename.o: -cp $S/i386/isa/filename.o . which should clearly be..... filename.o: $S/i386/isa/filename.o -cp $S/i386/isa/filename.o .
