I build CURRENT on two technically similar systems on a almost daily basis.=
 Therefore, it
was a great relief having WITH_META_MODE=3Dyes set in /etc/src-env.conf for=
 incremental
builds. To make my understanding of this clear (just in case I'm wrong): se=
tting
WITH_META_MODE builds only portions that does not need to be build in the m=
ake context.

Well, the reason writing this email is: on one system, I run almost every r=
eboot into a
"full build" and this puzzles me a bit. The long-lasting and time exhaustin=
g builds are
within the LLVM/CLANG tree. They consume a lot of time. The box in question=
 does have a
weak CPU, only two physical cores, four threads, 8GB of RAM and builds the =
/usr/obj
residing on a SSD. The reference machine does have the same motherboard, al=
so a SSD, but
has 16 GB RAM and a 4-core/8 threads XEON CPU - but both are "IvyBridge". T=
he XEON
usually needs 30 - 40 minutes to compile a full world/kernel from a clean /=
usr/obj, the
"weak" box takes approximately 120 minutes - it is understandable that a sh=
ortage of the
build time is appreciated.

Well, having said this, I need to mention that both systems use almost
identical /etc/src.conf setting - except the order of appearance of the WIT=
H_ tags. In
fact, they are identical except the KERNCONF (naming of the kernel) and POR=
TS_MODULES=3D,
the "weak" box incorporates x11/nvidia-driver and emulators/virtualbox-ose-=
kmod, so these
modules are build every time the system gets rebuild, but the time taken by=
 those is
negligible.

The problem: to make my point clear: the "weak" box starts compiling almost=
 everytime now
the LLVM/CLANG tree while the XEON box does not. This is spooky.

I deleted on both  systems recently /usr/obj completely from its content an=
d restarted a
buildworld again to hope, that the problem was introduced due to some files
necessary for the BSD make environment to indicate the incremental build. B=
ut no success.
Even more spooky is the fact, that after a build on the "weak" box and a bu=
ild again, the
box bevaves as expected not rebuilding everything again, but in some cases =
after a
reboot, a rebuild the hits again the build of LLVM/CLANG tree, while the XE=
ON box does
not.

I think there is something missing an I'd like to ask what is the suggested=
 way to
initially restart a full build to ensure that WITH_META_MODE gets initialis=
ed correctly.

Well, I'm not a developer, so please be patient with my naive report.

Thanks in advance,

oh
