These settings won't work very well on a r/o src tree. The problem is thst
OBJMACHINE makes the build system want to work in obj.${MACHINE}, so on
the i386, the system will want to make lots of obj.i386 links, which it
can't.

I'd suggest either not doing OBJMACHINE with BSDOBJDIR being the same on
both machines (so the symlinks point to the same places), or not worrying
about it. I have i386, mac68k, and (kinda) macppc living out of the same
source tree, without problem.

No. Is there an obj.i386 directory in usr/src/gnu/lib/libstdc++?

Shouldn't be a problem if you've done a make obj.

Sounds like either missing obj.i386, or you have .depend files lying
around outside the obj.X directories.

Hmm. The .depend files should be in the obj directories. :-(

I'm not sure.

Take care,
