I gave up waiting for bmake and all the associated infrastructure to be back= ported to stable/9 (and I know there's a snowball's chance in hades that it'= ll be backported to stable/8), so I figured out how to make the test infrast= ructure work independent of bmake. > I was aiming to get rid of WITH[OUT]_BMAKE soon - in time for 10.0 This is a really bad idea. The fact that bmake causes conf/179111 without a m= itigation strategy is reason alone to leave this knob in because I don't tru= st all makefiles that exist outside of FreeBSD to work sanely without set -e= . Heck, a lot of the Makefile snippets in FreeBSD don't behave sanely withou= t set -e, as noted in the bug (and those are just a handful). Management at $work would agree that it makes no sense wasting engineering h= ours chasing down build faults.=
