:My bad! Thanks.
Another thing that you (and everyone) should watch out for are stale
files in /usr/src from manual builds (e.g. like the one you just tried
to do in libc). These can cause odd problems later on. To clean those
out type 'make cleandir; make clean' in /usr/src.
When building a program or library manually you can keep /usr/src clean
by doing a 'make obj' before 'make', which will cause the build to put
generated files (like object files) in /usr/obj/usr/src/<blah> rather
then /usr/src/<blah>.
The 'make obj' trick is also used by people who have multiple machines,
by allowing one machine to hold a master copy of /usr/src and then
do a read-only NFS export of /usr/src to the other machine(s).
[a buildworld creates its own object hierarchy in /usr/obj, you do not
need to do anything special for buildworlds].
