Well, scrubbing obj and using "build.sh" didn't
work.
Abend in the same place.
Error messages are changing, though. Somewhat more
information about
the higher levels in Make that have branched down to the
erring level.
Anyway, the Makefile that is resulting in the error is
/usr/src/distrib/common/Makefile.image
The target is:
.if !target($)
# {
$: $ $ $
$
# There is a .PHONY $, so check if out of
date by hand
# Default to `.' if $ isn't set, to always
force a rebuild.
[ "${.OODATE}" = ${CRUNCHBIN:U.} -a -f
$ -a $ -nt
${CRUNCHBIN:U.} ] || {
$ " build "
${.CURDIR:T}/$;
rm -rf $ $;
mkdir -m 755 $ &&
$ -def $ -p $/ -UW
&&
$ -v mode=populate $ |
$ -e $
&& touch $ ;
}
(This was found by fgrepping for "mode=populate"
through /usr/src/distrib,
Grep is the hacker's friend. A tip for any aspiring youth
in
attendance -- look for stuff that isn't the result of an
expanded
variable.
In the interests of satisfying my curiosity, this was
changed to include
some instrumentation, as suggested by Mr Laight, thusly

Without any other changes to /usr/src/*, /usr/obj,
RELEASEDIR or
DESTDIR, I repeat the build.sh command, which is
./build.sh -u -U -D /home/destdir -R /home/release release
| tee /home/build.release.out
Stay tuned to this thread for the exciting results!
