that -E only operates for a specified variable. Useful since the -e option
will often pull-in many unwanted variable overrides (esp. in a make world
situation). Uses include overriding BINOWN (which cannot be done by normal
methods or through abuses of MAKEFLAGS) or likely for ports to honour CFLAGS
(provided they're running on a system whose make(1) has this option).
support. I've been building world with these changes for months w/o
ill effect. I've also managed to build the cross tool chain for MIPS
with these patches.
Please note that the extent to which these patches work is largely
dictated by how well our tool chains support the cross compilation.
Building alpha binaries on i386 doesn't work. Supposedly building
i386 binaries on alpha does work, but I've not verified it with these

compiled in default in case it isn't defined. This is needed to make
cross compilation work in some edge cases. It also makes cross
compiling on FreeBSD other BSD's easier as well.

This case did not need to be tested when RANLIBMAG was defined
(as when in an `aout' environment) because Arch_StatMember() treated
the two cases of the library not being present and a member of
the library not being present the same way, forcing a rebuild
of the library. Since in the ELF environment we don't look inside
archive libraries we now need to check if the archive library is
present in order to determine its `out-of-date'-ness.
(I hope I've been able to meet the Oct 15th freeze).

option lets make look inside archive libraries when determining if a
library is out-of-date. I don't think that make should look inside
files, so this fix effectively tells it not to. If the decision is
made (by someone else) that make _should_ be doing this, it will need
to be taught how to recognise elf archive libraries.

other, less advanced architecutres. This should minorly help porting
efforts of FreeBSD. I've done several make worlds since this came up
with this change, as well as debugging several interesting nits with
-V (which is the only thing this change will affect really).
says it pretends to make.
This bug was apparently harmless except for normal cases involving
.ORDER statements when it made debugging of -jN using -n very
confusing. E.g., for:
.ORDER: beforedepend .depend
depend: beforedepend .depend
where beforedepend depends on something so that it is not initially
up to date, `make [-n] -j2 depend' causes `make' to wait for itself
to make beforedepend. This works fine without -n. The job to make
beforedepend has normally been started, and beforedepend is marked
as made when the job completes. However, with -n, the pseudo-job
for making beforedepend has normally completed, and in any case
there was no chance of beforedepend being marked as made. `make'
actually exited almost immediately with status 0 instead of waiting
forever.
to free the suffix. I think, it is a very strange idea. (Or, maybe, it is a
POSIX requirement?) And it is done incorrectly. Apparently, it even don't
update the list of known suffixes (but it is an other bug).

No one has said this would be a bad thing, so given the dearth of comments
I decided to add it, as its an important step towards getting "make world"
'parallel-ized'.

maybe that's even too long. This should speed up make -j# builds.
I wonder why SIGCHLD isn't used...
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
