Cross build support doesn't require that you break things like that. = Never had, and never will. The FreeBSD version is irrelevant to cross = building, so bootstrapping checks are still needed. In the cross build, = the bootstrapping OS version will be 0 and we'll build everything we = need (possibly more than we would bootstrapping from supported FreeBSD = versions). >> why do you believe it's ok to change previous releases that don't use = that yacc ? >=20 > To build able to build them on a system that do not have the yacc = version they > need, that system could be linux for example or it could be a recent = head. You can accomplish this without blowing away the conditionals. Warner
