I would expect that

-x means "also x", not "only x".

However, I am really unclear on install like that in terms of
overwriting etc.  My build.sh command looks like

  ./build.sh -m amd64 -j12 -x -u -U -O /usr/obj/gdt-10/amd64 -T /usr/obj/gdt-10/tools -D /usr/obj/gdt-10/destdir/amd64 -R /usr/obj/gdt-10/releasedir -X /n0/gdt/NetBSD-10/xsrc release

and then I install the release sets (often on a different machine) with
"INSTALL-NetBSD" from pkgsrc/sysutils/etcmanage (which is a shell script
with a lot of coments).



> And with  "-u" It does not compile everything but only the source that has changed from the last compilation, is not it?

I think it's more that it will decline to rm the objdirs first, which
amounts to pretty much the same thing.
