I guess the Makefiles may need to be >verified for correctness or we may be having a problem in "make" itself. The kernel Makefile in FreeBSD is very incomplete. It does not handle dependencies on options in any worthwhile way, and most of the hand-generated dependencies are wrong. E.g., the one for machdep.o. The usual workaround is to do a "make clean" in the kernel object directory after _any_ change to the options or the system header files. -- Bruce Evans bde@kralizec.zeta.org.au
