i thought i was going to tear my hair out over this same problem... and
then one day it dissappeared. it think it was with my last sup, where
i noticed the makefiles (/usr/src/share/mk/*) seemed to have been redone.
(the problem, incidentally, is that it had stuff like (this is out of
memory):
@if test -d ${SOMEVARIABLE}; then \
rm -rf ${SOMEVARIABLE}
which seems fine, but if you look at the behavoir or test, it seems
rather unexpected...
bash$ if test -d; then echo hi; fi
hi
i would have thought that the directory <blank> would return false, but
it returns true... =(. so this is what happens in the makefile:
bash$: rm -rf
usage: rm [-f | -i] [-dPRr] file ...
anyway, taking a glance at then new bsd.mk.obj, make cleanobj (the
routine that was causing this problem) has been cleaned up to:
rm -f -r ${.CURDIR}/${__objdir}
anyway, this all seemed rather odd to me b/c i couldn't believe that
-current was that broken... i knew there had to be a way around it (
i tried changing my /bin/sh, which i usually keep as a static bash,
for example) but never found one besides most heinous hacking of the
makefile.
oh well.. it's fixed now =).
