>Description:
Make build is barfing somewhere (things get sigseg's, files are being created in complete, ...) so I'm trying to track down the exact stage that things go wrong.

Unfortunatly, the /usr/src/Makefile:build: target looks like:

build: buildmsg beforeinstall
.if defined(FORCE_DOMESTIC)
        @echo '*** CAPUTE!'
        @echo '    The FORCE_DOMESTIC flag is not compatible with "make build".'
        @echo '    Please correct the problem and try again.'
        @false
.endif
.if ${MKSHARE} != "no"
        (cd ${.CURDIR}/share/mk && ${MAKE} install)
.endif
.if !defined(UPDATE) && !defined(NOCLEANDIR)
        ${MAKE} ${_J} ${_M} cleandir
.endif

and so on.  This makes it very difficult for someone to perform the build incrementally.

>How-To-Repeat:
In left xterm, less /usr/src/Makefile

In right xterm, cut/past from left xterm to step through build.


>Fix:
No patch.

build: should be defined as a sequence of sub rules vis:

build: buildmsg beforeinstall do-force-domestic do-mkshare do-mkobjdirs ....

so that each can be run individually from the top level.
