That should work. I built a snapshot of 1.6U not too long ago (1.6T at
least, I'm certain). Try again with UPDATE=yes, but capture the output
this time. E.g, with a Bourne-style shell, like "/bin/ksh":

    make DESTDIR=/usr/home/dest RELEASEDIR=/usr/home/release \
        UPDATE=yes > mklog 2>&1 &

or csh-style, for "tcsh" or "bash":

    make DESTDIR=/usr/home/dest RELEASEDIR=/usr/home/release \
        UPDATE=yes >& mklog &

Note that you can set those variables on the "make" command line,
rather than the environment, though they work as well either way.
