Hey all. Maybe a dumb question  about building the world. What are the
reasons  for,  caveats,  and  benefits  of  building  the  world  with
NOPROFILE=3Dtrue? false?

I'm not entirely sure what the  default is, because I've not found any
definitive statement one way or the other, but /etc/defaults/make.conf
has the following:

# To avoid building various parts of the base system:
=2E . .
#NOPROFILE=3D     true    # Avoid compiling profiled libraries

Which makes me think the default is false. So why would someone change
this? (I do know not to change the /etc/defaults/ version, btw).

And  thanks  to  past  threads  on the  "Right  Way"  to  perform  the
buildworld/installworld/kernel/etc.,  I  am   following  the  handbook
closely, and am not relying on dumb luck as I have in the past :).

TIA & HAND
Lou
