>Why does the ``libraries'' target in /usr/src/Makefile cleans >automatically? Sure, you can set NOCLEANDIR but then that turns off The libraries might be different if the compiler has changed. The compiler might change because it's not in lib-tools. However, since libraries are built before the compiler in the main pass, they probably won't change in the main pass. They may change when everything is built again. The compiler should probably be in lib-tools. Then to ensure that a stable version of it gets built, you could blow it away instead of the libraries. It may take longer to rebuild than the libraries :-]. Bruce
