I understand the logic of the code clip, but I don't understand why it's bogus. I should note that I am still nursing my first FreeBSD machine to life (with no phone line, this is a task indeed), and have no idea how the make under /usr/src works. What is the problem with the /usr/src/a/src/lib/libc vs. /usr/src/usr/src/lib/libc, and indeed, what are these subdirectories?
