Hmm. Yeah, this really looks somewhat bogus as you say. I wonder though if we shouldn't have the UCS_to_*.pl scripts generate a bunch of "mapdeps.mk" files instead, or something like that, given that these *.map files are themselves generated. Also, I suspect you should do something about Meson, but I don't know what that would look like. -- Álvaro Herrera PostgreSQL Developer — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ Thou shalt study thy libraries and strive not to reinvent them without cause, that thy code may be short and readable and thy days pleasant and productive.
