Never mind, I finally figured it out. It's in config/gen/makefiles/root.in . I was doing "ack HLLCompiler" in the config directory (and other directories) to try to find the HLLCompiler.pbc target, but didn't realize that ack doesn't search "root.in" by default. I guess this is one of those 1% cases where I should've used "grep -r" instead, or learned about "ack -a". Pm
