Okay, I just thought that using chroot to build release is a bit weird :-) As a side note, my real concern is that, it seems that our build infrastructure can not bootstrap itself very easily, say it's not "that" self-contained as I imagined. After installing a gcc 3.4.6 from ports collection and override CC/CXX variables, I found that some of the installed headers and bsd.*.mk is still used during the build, making it very hard to produce successful build without heavy hack to the source tree. I think it's time for me to pursue more about our build skeleton... Cheers, -- Xin LI <delphij@delphij.net> http://www.delphij.net/ FreeBSD - The Power to Serve!
