Unfortunately, this is not the case ;) There is no `make' left. The only
aliens are the ones checked out from netbsd-2-0 branch (for testing, see my other mail) from sendmail directory (others are all netbsd-2-0-2-RELEASE):

----------CUT HERE
? gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/netbsd-msp.cf
? gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/netbsd-proto.cf
cvs update: Updating .
cvs update: Updating bin
----------CUT HERE

And the extract from my log appended to the first email shows that this
is indeed the generated toolchain that is used.

The problem is that by reading the etc/Makefile, one sees that MAKEDEV
is generated directly in ${.TARGET} while `etc-release' is generated
in ${.OBJDIR}/${.TARGET} while the two, as generated objects, are
supposed to be copied via ${INSTALL_OBJ_FILE}: this can not work as is
for MAKEDEV.

Secondly, for MAKEDEV only, ${.TARGET} expands to ${.CURDIR}/MAKEDEV,
meaning that preprending ${.OBJDIR} leads to an error.
For `etc-release', ${.TARGET} expands only to the basename of the
target. Is this something related to the UPPERCASE name of MAKEDEV?

Note: I'm using anoncvs.fr.NetBSD.org for the case of an inconsistency
between mirrors.
