Why is a make depend done as part of make world? Unless I'm missing something, all of the binaries would be rebuilt anyway due to the .o's not being there, it is a waste of time. Can one safely omit it for "clean" builds on "virgin" /usr/src trees? The order that is there now should cause the includes to be installed first, and then the libraries built and installed and then all the binaries build and installed. In this case, what does depend buy you? What subtle thing, if any, am I missing? Warner
