I have a zillion patches to various Makefiles and bsd.*.mk. The bsd.*.mk
is quite a severe impact change since it removes bsd.own.mk from sys.mk
and moves them to the start of things like bsd.prog.mk. I would have
moved /etc/make.conf as well, but that was just too painful yet.
Why, you ask? Two reasons..
1: some makefiles *need* to be able to override the binary format.. eg:
a.out rtld needs to be build in a.out mode regardless. eg: libgcc.a needs
two versions, one a.out, the other elf.
2: hanging all this stuff in sys.mk causes a huge amount of pollution to
the default make environment, even when not using a bmakefile. This is
bad. The pollution should only "appear" when using a makefile that
mentions something like bsd.prog.mk or bsd.lib.mk etc.
However, I have not been able to get a peep out of the people that I've
asked to look over them. I'm tempted to commit them as-is, but I know
that it's going to break things and will require some mopping up. (Some
mught ask: So what else is new? :-] )
Cheers,
-Peter
