Since config(8) has just blown away the entire build directory (and will blow away it again next time), make depend is simply a waste of time. (Btw., /usr/src/release/Makefile does also fail in this area: it's wasting much time makeing depend for two kernels where the build areas are being nuked 10 minutes later. :-) People who know about config -n do also know about make depend. :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
