Before embarking on plans to implement it this way or that, how about some reports on whether this saves much time. My initial profiling indicates that for an individual make, it might save a few tenths of a second, but when you do a whole bunch of makes in a row (like in pkg_version), somehow the run of things like "uname -p" gets cached, and it turns into a few hundreths of a second per make. I might also add that the OSVERSION (which is the result of awk) seems to be very quick compared to the invokations of uname (which is what the others are). In other words, the time savings might just not be that worthwhile pursuing. Stephen
