This *will* stop working, but you have good substitutes. Instead of speaking of makefile target names, let's speak of features. You will always have a bootstrap sequence and a non-bootstrap sequence, but you'll need to reconfigure to switch between the two. What it used to be "make" and "make bootstrap" are (and will be) "./configure --disable-bootstrap && make" and "./configure && make". So please, propose your usage case. Don't tell us which commands you expect to be working, tell us of your workflow and why you think it's broken by the new system. Probably it's just a misunderstanding, since there are no real features that are being lost with the new system (while many bugs and annoyances are/will be fixed): it's just about learning how to reproduce your workflow in the new system. Paolo posted mails explaining complex workflows like debugging a stage1/2 miscompilation, and how that can be done with the new system. What is that *you* think you can't do anymore with the new system? -- Giovanni Bajo
