Watch out, there is a condition in 'make world' that can cause all your
src/sys/{net,sys,vm,netinet,etc..}/*.h files to get deleted. I'm think
this only happens with 'make -DNOCLEAN world', and only if there are
symlinks in the /usr/obj/tmp/usr/include tree at the point that the world
is built.
I have committed a fix, but this is a heads up for people building
not-quite-current sources with -DNOCLEAN.
So, if you have got important changes to src/sys/*/*.h, take a backup copy
of them to be sure.
Make sure you DO NOT do a 'make -DNOCLEAN world' with rev 1.185 of src/
Makefile. Everything else should be fine (at least, it shouldn't delete
your source files....).
Looks like I get the pointy hat for this one. Sorry folks... :-(
Cheers,
-Peter
