We would have to run two back-to-back bulk builds, one with the switch thrown one way, and one with it the other. The builds are scheduled off the hierarchy as built via 'make index', and thus two different INDEX files are required. It could be done but it's kind of a PITA with the way things are set up, so we had never really considered doing it. You might want to look at the just-added port ports-mgmt/poudriere to see if it would help your problem locally. mcl
