Hi,
thanks for looking.

OK. I have the cause and a workaround. You can do a proper fix based
on it:
It's the NetBSD shell, /bin/sh (and also /bin/ksh). On NetBSD's /bin/sh:
LINENO RANDOM SECONDS START_TIME ToD
change every time you do a `set' and so these will be different for every
run of `mach build'. This is enough to cause a full rebuild. NetBSD's
/bin/ksh has RANDOM and SECONDS.
Where is this code? mach? make? configure?
Can it be fixed?
Setting SHELL=/usr/pkg/bin/dash and CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/pkg/bin/dash
doesn't
seem to help at all, so the workaround is this:
pkgin -y in dash
cp /usr/pkg/bin/dash ~/bin/sh
env PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH ./mach build
That causes dash(1) to be used always and everything seems to work
without
a full rebuild.
Hmm... a dirty workaround, to copy in your own directory. I would not
mind installing an extra shell and using it, but "the pkg way".
I wonder if Firefox 52 and/or current have this issue? Maybe there is a
patch I can import into ArcticFox.
Most probably inside pkg build it is not usually seen, since it is a one
time compilation, it affects more developers and tinkerers.
