It's worked a few times in a row for me; some samples: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #384: Sat Jan 16 17:23:36 WST 1999 FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #111: Sat Jan 16 14:39:22 WST 1999 FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #265: Wed Jan 20 06:02:36 WST 1999 FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #61: Mon Jan 18 19:33:08 WST 1999 The first machine has been doing 'config -n' since 1996, with (when necessary) a make clean. It was doing early SMP development which tended to have some scarey consequences on filesystems at times. :-] Are you sure you're doing a 'make depend' after each config(8) run and after building for the first time after a cvsup run or cvs update? Yes, a 'make depend' is required whenever the sources change any of their include files. > Ciao, > Sheldon.
