"make tier1" ? (Stuff which must not be broken) "make tier2" etc. FWIW, I really don't think it is worth burning an entire 99.9999% duplicate build cycle just to test a #ifdef SUN4V in one file in libc. -- Peter Wemm - [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 "If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution." -- Robert Sewell _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
