building a "shrinked" NetBSD-System via build.sh (optional: on Linux-host)

[Marcus Osdoba <marcus.osdoba%googlemail.com@localhost>]

Hello list,

recently, I tried to build a "minimal" NetBSD-System for an old 
thin-client with x86 hardware and a 128MiB flash card.

As nearly everything is buildable from source, I started with 
crosscompiling [0] for the i386-like target on one of my Linux boxes 
(Debian Wheezy amd64) and a userdefined mk.conf [1]. When building on a 
NetBSD/x64 vm I wasn't able to convince the builder to use more than one 
make-process even when calling explicitly with "-j 4". That's why I 
finally stayed with the Wheezy-host.

I experienced a couple of (minor) issues:

A) MKX11="no" didn't work. The variable is well passed, but the 
if-then-else construction (in Makefile-syntax) didn't work as expected. 
I finally chose X11FLAVOUR="Xorg" and "build.sh build" went through.

B) #MKDTRACE="no" Building without DTRACE didn't work. At some point I 
experienced something like elf32.h not found. I finally let DTRACE build 
and "build.sh build" went through.

C) Using obj-dir or tooldir out of tree didn't work. I guess, I 
overruled the auto-OBJPREFIX generation and the build-process got into 
trouble as I am building on a Linux host.

Now for the real problem:
D) After "build.sh build" was successfully finished, I tried to compile 
the userland with "build.sh release" and I got a "checkflist"-error 
because of "27221 extra files". Well, I put options like 
MKLVM=no,MKHTML=no etc. in my mk.conf file. So yes, I really intended 
NOT to include /sbin/lvm etc. in my userland. From a first view, the 
generated "flist" seems to be right.

What do I have to do, to make "build.sh release" run through even with 
all these exclude-options enabled?

Regards,
Marcus

Files in DESTDIR but missing from flist.
File is obsolete or flist is out of date ?
