No, but it apparently happens if you build kernel modules separately, or via ports. Or if you build kernel modules for head from older branches. > Wouldn't it be better to track down the real bug? Obviously that would be better, but I received several private messages from people that were annoyed that I "broke" their kernel module builds, and expected me to fix it. There was also at least one such posting on freebsd-current@, where somebody's nvidia-driver port fell over due to my change. I did think about adding a fatal error message to each of the kern.mk files that includes bsd.own.mk, but you can't really do a full sanity check until you add some sort of version number to the bsd.*.mk files. _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
