Build tools are most of the time so small or trivial (gcc is probably the exception, before that perl probably was) that building them again is lost in creating the rescue bits itself. We could possibly copy the object directory of those tools that have build tools, but if there are paths embedded in generated scripts, we have to regenerate them anyway. What about this: rebuild the build tools to get things sorted out and working and then look if we can optimize? -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
