System: NetBSD brandenburg.cs.mu.OZ.AU 1.5_BETA NetBSD 1.5_BETA (BRANDENBURG) #6: Sun Oct 14 19:40:40 ICT 2001 kre@brandenburg.cs.mu.OZ.AU:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/BRANDENBURG i386

	Really on

System: NetBSD munnnari.cs.mu.OZ.AU 1.5R NetBSD 1.5R (MUNNNARI) #0: Thu Feb 15 16:25:51 EST 2001     kre@lavender.cs.mu.OZ.AU:/extra/Sys/arch/alpha/compile/MUNNNARI alpha


>Description:
	if build.sh gets run with bad options, it builds an nbmake wrapper
	script with those options - later invocations of build.sh (with the
	options corrected) seem to ignore the options, and just use whatever
	was in the nbmake wrapper.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Avoid being root for this, or the thing just does what you told
	it (I belive) instead of generating an error...

	sh build.sh -T /junk/and/trash
		(wait for error about no permission to make /junk ...)
	sh build.sh -T /usr/tools   (or whatever it should be)
		(wait for error about no permission to make /junk ...)

	I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter, but I was using the alpha system
	above (currently running 1.5R) to cross-compile -current for an i386.

>Fix:
	Workaround: edit the nbmake wrapper

	Proper fix - for someone else (sorry).
