System: NetBSD zen.quick.com.au 1.3.2 NetBSD 1.3.2 (ZEN-PUC) #5: Fri Oct 8 23:46:14 EST 1999 root@zen.quick.com.au:/u3/NetBSD/1.3.2/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ZEN-PUC i386

>Description:
	
Make tests the format of a library before accepting it as such.
If the library does not exist, this test causes it to not be treated
as a libray.  The original behaviour for non-existent libs was to
consider them up to date, this path is now never taken. 

>How-To-Repeat:
	
Put an incorrect lib in DPADD and target will be relinked everytime
make is run.
>Fix:
	
I have already committed the following fix.
