No problem. It is a little confusing for me ... like now I see that 
makefile.boot also runs install-sh and wants mk directory.

When I used that a couple days ago I had this problem on on NetBSD:

CC="gcc" MAKEFLAGS= 
MAKESYSPATH=`pwd`/mk:/usr/local/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/mk-fil
es:/home/reed/pkg/share/mk:/usr/share/mk:/usr/local/share/mk:/opt/share/mk
./bmake.boot -f Makefile
bmake.boot: "/usr/share/mk/bsd.shlib.mk" line 6: Malformed conditional
(${MKDYNAMICROOT} == "no")
...

On NetBSD, it appears that /usr/share/mk/bsd.prog.mk got in the way
and was used to bring in bsd.shlib.mk which failed.

It seems like my /usr/local/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bmake/NetBSD/mk/prog.mk
or /usr/local/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/mk-files/prog.mk should have been
used during this bootstrapping (they are identical). If I use one of 
them instead, then bootstrap continues.

That sounds like a better idea.

The problem is pkgsrc users using bootstrap assume that it will do the 
right thing without setting MAKECONF. We could change this though.

I just meant that the current bootstrap is installing different versions 
of both bsd.own.mk and own.mk files on some platforms.
