That has been proposed by someone (sorry, I can't remember who exactly). We still need a consensus as to what we should do. Personally, I now like to fix this at the core of the problem: truly support cross-compilations. This implies (IMO) that the source tree is never used to build the tools with which a world is built (ideally). Such a solution may take too long to be implemented to be used as a solution now, though. -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ The FreeBSD project mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
