It does, but teasing apart what's needed for buildworld/buildkernel and just buildetc is a bunch of work, and better to have something that works inefficiently than something that doesn't work. Patches more than welcome to make it more efficient. However, I will note that 99% of the time -B is what people should be using, so it's not all that important (it's rare that you want to produce an etcupdate tree from sources that haven't just been built).

So I looked with a ps -axldww while it was going on. An examp= le was: `-- /bin/sh /usr/sbin/etcupdate -D/usr/obj/DESTDIRs/main-CA7-chroot= -s /usr/main-src -M TARGET_ARCH=3Darmv7 `-- make TARGET_ARCH=3Darmv7 -DNO_= FILEMON buildetc `-- make -m /usr/main-src/share/mk -f Makefile.inc1 TARGET= =3Darm TARGET_ARCH=3Darmv7 buildetc `-- make -f Makefile.inc1 _bootstrap-to= ols MK_CROSS_COMPILER=3Dno MK_TOOLCHAIN=3Dno . . . `-- /bin/sh -e -c echo "= =3D=3D=3D> usr.bin/dtc (obj,all,install)"; cd /usr/main-src/usr.bin/dtc;. .= . install `-- make DIRPRFX=3Dusr.bin/dtc/ all `-- c++ -O2 -pipe -fno-commo= n -DNDEBUG . . . -c /usr/main-src/usr.bin/dtc/fdt.cc -o fdt.o More may buil= d. This is just what was present when I happened to look. Seems an odd thin= g to be happening for an etcupdate . I'll note that aarch64 targeting aarch= 64 (self hosted build) also spends notable time and is likely doing similar= ly. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com=20 > >=20 >=20 >=20 > =3D=3D=3D > Mark Millard > marklmi at yahoo.com
