Nope - miniperl is built by the buildworld bootstrap. > To make the first-time build work I replaced miniperl with > /usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/miniperl/miniperl in the Makefile. NO!!! You don't call bison, yacc, cc ld or any of thos other tools with a full path - they are (or have been) built by a bootstrap at some stage. Are you doing anything naughty like "make all" or "make -DNOCLEAN buildworld" or any other kind of "make -D<shortcuts> *world"? Yoou should be only doing "make buildworld", and you should have no (or little) "clever stuff" in /etc/make.conf.
