I'm currently trying to put together a personal workstation whose

I'm currently over-hauling OpenBSD make.
During my investigations, I've stumbled upon an oddity of the way
VPATH works.
There are currently two hooks in make that handle VPATH.
- in dir.c, file name lookups resort to handling along the VPATH
when a file is not found in the current directory.
-
Ouch!
Don't mangle VPATH use.
If you want to get the other behaviour, leave the thing in place and
provide a switch to get the other one.
And no, I am not in charge of FreeBSD make.

working on new features from another pmake descendant. I think the link
was this:

Why would you need a 33us timer? Does your hardware not generate
interrupts?
