What exactly is -DNOCLEAN supposed to do when building the world? I
always make clean in /usr/src and completely remove /usr/obj after
making the world (disk space) so there's nothing to clean but I still
see lots of ``rm -rf'' scrolling by even when using -DNOCLEAN.
Looking in /usr/src/Makefile.inc1 I find:
.if !defined(NOCLEAN)
rm -rf ${WORLDTMP}
.else
for dir in bin games include lib sbin; do \
rm -rf ${WORLDTMP}/usr/$$dir; \
done
rm -f ${WORLDTMP}/sys
# XXX - Work-around for broken cc/cc_tools/Makefile.
# This is beyond dirty...
rm -f ${OBJTREE}${.CURDIR}/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_tools/.depend
.endif
so it appears t still be doing a selective clean (on either
non-existent dirs or ones that have been newly created).
What is the reason for this? Is it just a "belt and braces" action?
