ITYM installworld. From Makefile.inc1:
<quote>
installworld:
mkdir -p ${INSTALLTMP}
for prog in [ awk cat chflags chmod chown date echo egrep find grep \
install ln make makewhatis mtree mv perl rm sed sh sysctl \
test true uname wc zic; do \
cp `which $$prog` ${INSTALLTMP}; \
done
</quote>
(${INSTALLTMP} is set earlier to /tmp/install.<pid>)
I suppose it's possible that buildworld does something similar, but
then why would installworld re-do it?
