David, I am receiving quality answers and nice explanations by Paul Smith and a few others, Paul and some others understand what I am trying to do. My purpose is not to scorn people or to find fault with them at all.
I am here to promote open source activity and have a good time for it. My main purpose is to deal with the technical details and then I may be able to help some people like you to expand the boundary of computer knowledge. Sorry if you felt some thing bad but I really did not mean it. The style of writing the make manual seems a bit confusing to me. Compare with Intel documents. Sorry to complain again but I just want to express myself though i know that my ideas have definitely problems.
