Probably not well. > Do I need to set > WITHOUT_DEPEND_CLEANUP= to have META_MODE= work as it used to? My guess would be yes. It appears that MK_DEPEND_CLEANUP=yes is an attempt to compensate for MK_META_MODE=no With MK_META_MODE=yes, things which are affected by changes to build options should be rebuilt, so there should no need to clean the whole tree. FWIW at work the only time I ever find it necessary to clean a tree (and usually only the stage tree - think; auto-populated DESTDIR) is when someone changes the location something (eg a library's headers) gets staged to. Without cleaning the stage tree, the build may pick up stale files. --sjghome | help
