Hi, today I got confronted with this little curiosity from bmake. I have built and installed the world, and after reboot I ran 'make delete-old' as root to get rid of accumulated stale files. This is what I got back:
>>> Removing old files (only deletes safe to delete libs) .... >>> Old files removed >>> Removing old directories >>> Old directories removed To remove old libraries run '/usr/obj/usr/src/make.amd64/make delete-old-libs'. It turns out that somehow running make in src tree finds and tries to run a copy from .OBJDIR, if one is present, unconditionally now. I do not think this that is a particularly desirable and even sane behaviour - once buildworld has finished, no tool should ever try to run _anything_ from what is essentially a scratch space. Bootstrap and cross tools should only be used during corresponding stages of buildworld and by default. -- Alexander Kabaev
