I found this thread: http://marc.info/?t=129055173800002&r=1&w=2
I too had a much tested build script that I was using, and like OP I have modified my procedure not to export DESTDIR to the environment. I am now stuck with a make build that failed thusly. I'm still poking around, but I haven't found anything that is helping out here. It looks like gcc just kinda broke. I double checked I had a fresh /usr/obj before beginning. I don't recall seeing anything come across misc that might pertain to other changes I might need to consider. install -d -o root -g bin -m 755 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-openbsd4.8/4.2.1 install -c -s -o root -g bin -m 555 cc /usr/bin/cc /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc/../cc/obj/cc -dumpspecs > /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-openbsd4.8/4.2.1/specs /bin/sh: /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc/../cc/obj/cc: not found *** Error code 127 Stop in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc (line 25 of Makefile). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc (line 48 of /usr/share/mk/bsd.subdir.mk). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin (line 48 of /usr/share/mk/bsd.subdir.mk). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gnu (line 48 of /usr/share/mk/bsd.subdir.mk). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src (line 48 of /usr/share/mk/bsd.subdir.mk). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src (line 74 of Makefile).
