You may also need -f to build dependencies (although not for libc). -f has been in -current since 1997/03/22. >You will also need to update /usr/share/mk/* to be able to do the >build because of the .include dependencies. This goes without saying. You should expect problems if these files are more than one nanosecond out of date. >Why are /usr/src/lib/libc/sys/Makefile.inc and /usr/share/mk/bsd.lib.mk >using "ld -O <name> -r -x <name>" instead of "strip -x <name>"? The latter doesn't work well with `make -j'. >...Probably to make life complicated for anyone who decides to >upgrade libc by simply building it. 8-(. There is no need to build a new libc to build a new ld. Bootstrap using something like `cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/ld; make; su ...; make install; exit'. Bruce
