``Config'' configs, it doesn't make.  I don't think it really has any
business runnig a make depend.  That's what scripts are for.

Here's my home-grown ``doconfig'' script:

     ---------- >8 ----- Begin doconfig ----- 8< ----------
#!/bin/sh

# Usage: doconfig CONFIGFILENAME
#

if [ $# -ne 1 -o ! -f $1 ]; then
    echo "USAGE: doconfig CONFIGFILE"
    exit 1
fi

arch=`machine`
conf=$1
export MAKEFLAGS='-j4'

if [ -f /sys/arch/$arch/compile/$conf/Makefile ]; then
    echo '   *** make clean ***   '
    cd /sys/arch/$arch/compile/$conf
    make clean
else
    echo '   *** skipping make clean -- new kernel config ***   '
fi

echo '   *** config ***   '
cd /sys/arch/$arch/conf
config $conf || {
    echo '!!!*** Error in config file:' $conf '***!!!'
    exit 2
}

echo '   *** make depend ***   '
cd /sys/arch/$arch/compile/$conf
make depend || {
    echo '!!!*** Error in make depend ***!!!'
    exit 3
}

echo '   *** make ***   '
make || {
    echo '!!!*** Error in make ***!!!'
    exit 4
}

echo '   *** kernel build completed successfully ***   '
ls -lgF ./netbsd /netbsd*
size ./netbsd /netbsd*

exit 0
     ---------- >8 -----  End doconfig  ----- 8< ----------
