Its not like we need to > build manpages that early in the build. There's no other place. Only bootstrap tools, cross tools and build tools are build in such a way that they can run on the build machine. You can't build it later than cross-tools. It's not a cross tool itself and definitely not a build tool. It must be a bootstrap tool then. -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
