Done! Well, *that* was easy.... :-} Now, to illustrate the danger of appearing to "set precedent", is there hope that PRs in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=24102 and http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=23328 could be taken care of prior to 4.3-RC, as well? They refer to the same issue, regarding make. bin/23328 is one I filed which describes an annoying misbehavior on the part of make in some circumstances (typically, when dealing with Makefiles that were created via automake); bin/24012 is by Thomas Moestl <tmoestl@gmx.net>, and has his patch to -CURRENT to fix bin/23328; it also includes a version of that patch that I re-worked for -STABLE. I've been using the thus-patched 4.2-S for over a month and a half. It appears to fix the problem: once I upgraded our backup server to the patched 4.2-S, I then was able to actually do the usual install for amanda 2.4.2p1 (rather than relying on gmake). And I've done the build{world,kernel} cycle several times since, again with the patched make. (And yes, I installed the results, and then used the reulting system as the base for the next round.) If there's more I can do to get this done, please let me know. After all, considering the comment that there was some "history" of which to be aware with respect to the "4.2" designation, I'd think that there would be even more for "4.3" (fixed some TCP bugs; 1st ed. _Design and Implementation..._ book, &c.).
