I remember switching to shell scripts to do all of this when O'Brien 
updated the /binutils during the transition from 4.0 > 4.1. The 
consequence of mistyping a script name was immediately apparent where 
as, mistyping an option would be found at the end of a bad make session.

The sequence of buildworld, build[install]kernel, installworld wasn't 
an option when the /binutils were updated. I kind of wonder if the 
same thing is going to happen when the /binutils are updated in ~2 
months as was commented else where.
