I don't use nightly (or even nightly -i) when doing change / rebuild
/ test sequences. Instead, I build at most once, and then just
descend through the tree to build just the changed modules I need.
It's much, much faster than a `nightly' build of any sort.
For example, when working on the kernel TCP/IP bits, just do this:
cd $SRC/uts/intel/ip
dmake CLOSED_IS_PRESENT=no
The resulting "debug64/ip" and "debug32/ip" files can be copied to the
obvious spots in the test machine's file system.
(You can build the "install" target if you're not sure where the
changed binaries belong. They'll end up being installed under $ROOT
in the right relative directory.)
