4     BUILDING - Procedure for building NetBSD from source code.

6STATUS
7     This document is a work-in-progress.  As such, the information described
8     here may not match the reality of the build system as of this writing.
9     Once this document is completely in sync with reality, this paragraph
10     will be removed.
11
12     Discrepancies between this documentation and the current reality of im-
13     plementation are noted specially, as with the note below:
14
15     Note: This document applies only to platforms which use the new toolchain
16     as indicated by the default setting of TOOLCHAIN_MISSING in <bsd.own.mk>.
17     Platforms which have not yet been switched to the new toolchain should
18     continue building traditionally, using the notes specified in the file
19     UPDATING.
20
21REQUIREMENTS
22     NetBSD is designed to be buildable on most POSIX-compliant host systems.
23     The basic build procedure is the same whether compiling natively (on the
24     same NetBSD architecture) or cross compiling (on another architecture or
25     OS).
26
27     This source tree contains a special subtree, ``tools'', which uses the
28     host system to create a build toolchain for the target architecture.  The
29     host system must have at least C and C++ compilers in order to create the
30     toolchain (make is not required); all other tools are created as part of
31     the NetBSD build process.
32
33           Note: A couple of host toolchain components are not yet available
34           in the tools directory.  Also, some tools use non-POSIX, non-ANSI C
35           extensions and need to be standardized.  As a result, cross-compil-
36           ing from systems other than NetBSD is not currently supported.

43     BUILDING       This document (in plaintext).
44
45     Makefile       The main Makefile for NetBSD; should only be run for na-
46                    tive builds with an appropriately up-to-date version of
47                    NetBSD make(1).  (For building from out-of-date systems or
48                    on a non-native host, see the build.sh shell script.)
49
50     UPDATING       Special notes for updating from an earlier revision of
51                    NetBSD.  It is important to read this file before every
52                    build of an updated source tree.
53
54     build.sh       Bourne-compatible shell script used for building the host
55                    build tools and the NetBSD system from scratch.  Can be
56                    used for both native and cross builds, and should be used
57                    instead of make(1) for any source tree that is updated and
58                    recompiled regularly.
59
60     crypto/dist/, dist/, gnu/dist/
61                    Sources imported verbatim from third parties, without man-
62                    gling the existing build structure.  Other source trees in
63                    bin through usr.sbin use the NetBSD make(1) ``reachover''
64                    Makefile semantics when building these programs for a na-
65                    tive host.
66
67     distrib/, etc/
68                    Sources for items used when making a full release snap-
69                    shot, such as files installed in DESTDIR/etc on the desti-
70                    nation system, boot media, and release notes.
71
72     regress/       Regression test harness.  Can be cross-compiled, but only
73                    run natively.
74
75     sys/           NetBSD kernel sources.
76
77     tools/         ``Reachover'' build structure for the host build tools.
78                    This has a special method of determining out-of-date sta-
79                    tus.
80
81     bin/ ... usr.sbin/
82                    Sources to the NetBSD userland (non-kernel) programs.  If
83                    any of these directories are missing, they will be skipped
84                    during the build.
85
86   Build tree layout
87     The NetBSD build tree is described in hier(7), and the release layout is
88     described in release(7).
89
90CONFIGURATION
91   Environment variables
92     Several environment variables control the behaviour of NetBSD builds.
93
94     MACHINE           Machine type.
95
96     MACHINE_ARCH      Machine architecture.
97
98     MAKE              Path name to invoke make(1) as.
99
100     MAKEFLAGS         Flags to invoke make(1) with.
101
102     MAKEOBJDIR        Directory to use as the .OBJDIR for the current direc-
103                       tory.  Used only if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is not defined.
104                       MAKEOBJDIR can only be provided in the environment or
105                       via the -O flag of build.sh.
106
107     MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX  Top level directory of the object directory tree.  If
108                       this is defined, ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/${.CURDIR} is used
109                       as the .OBJDIR for the current directory.  The current
110                       directory may be read only.  MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX can only
111                       be provided in the environment or via the -M flag of
112                       build.sh.
113
114   "make" variables
115     Several variables control the behavior of NetBSD builds.  Unless other-
116     wise specified, these variables may be set in either the process environ-
117     ment or the make(1) configuration file specified by MAKECONF.
118
119     BUILDID     Identifier for the build.  The identifier will be appended to
120                 object directory names, and can be consulted in the make(1)
121                 configuration file in order to set additional build parame-
122                 ters, such as compiler flags.
123
124     DESTDIR     Directory to contain the built NetBSD system.  If set, spe-
125                 cial options are passed to the compilation tools to prevent
126                 their default use of the host system's /usr/include,
127                 /usr/lib, and so forth.  This pathname should not end with a
128                 slash (/) character (for installation into the system's root
129                 directory, set DESTDIR to an empty string).  The directory
130                 must reside on a file system which supports long file names
131                 and hard links.
132
133                 Default: Empty string if USETOOLS is ``yes''; unset other-
134                 wise.
135
136                 Note: build.sh will provide a default of destdir.MACHINE (in
137                 the top-level .OBJDIR) unless run in `expert' mode
138
139     MAKECONF    The name of the make(1) configuration file.  Only settable in
140                 the process environment.
141
142                 Default: ``/etc/mk.conf''
143
144     MKCATPAGES  Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether prefor-
145                 matted plaintext manual pages will be created during a build.
146
147                 Default: ``yes''
148
149     MKCRYPTO    Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether crypto-
150                 graphic code will be included in a build; provided for the
151                 benefit of countries that do not allow strong cryptography.
152                 Will not affect use of the standard low-security password en-
153                 cryption system, crypt(3).
154
155                 Default: ``yes''
156
157     MKDOC       Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether system
158                 documentation destined for DESTDIR/usr/share/doc will be in-
159                 stalled during a build.
160
161                 Default: ``yes''
162
163     MKHOSTOBJ   Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  If set to ``yes'', then for
164                 programs intended to be run on the compile host, the name,
165                 release, and architecture of the host operating system will
166                 be suffixed to the name of the object directory created by
167                 ``make obj''.  (This allows multiple host systems to compile
168                 NetBSD for a single target.)  If set to ``no'', then programs
169                 built to be run on the compile host will use the same object
170                 directory names as programs built to be run on the target.
171
172                 Default: ``no''
173
174     MKINFO      Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether GNU Info
175                 files, used for the documentation for most of the compilation
176                 tools, will be created and installed during a build.
177
178                 Default: ``yes''
179
180     MKLINT      Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether lint(1)
181                 will be run against portions of the NetBSD source code during
182                 the build, and whether lint libraries will be installed into
183                 DESTDIR/usr/libdata/lint.
184
185                 Default: ``yes''
186
187     MKMAN       Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether manual
188                 pages will be installed during a build.
189
190                 Default: ``yes''
191
192     MKNLS       Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether Native
193                 Language System locale zone files will be compiled and in-
194                 stalled during a build.
195
196                 Default: ``yes''
197
198     MKOBJ       Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether object
199                 directories will be created when running ``make obj''.  If
200                 set to ``no'', then all built files will be located inside
201                 the regular source tree.
202
203                 Default: ``yes''
204
205     MKPIC       Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether shared
206                 objects and libraries will be created and installed during a
207                 build.  If set to ``no'', the entire built system will be
208                 statically linked.
209
210                 Default: Platform dependent.  As of this writing, all plat-
211                 forms except sh3 default to ``yes''.
212
213     MKPICINSTALL
214                 Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether the ar(1)
215                 format libraries (lib*_pic.a), used to generate shared li-
216                 braries, are installed during a build.
217
218                 Default: ``yes''
219
220     MKPROFILE   Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether profiled
221                 libraries (lib*_p.a) will be built and installed during a
222                 build.
223
224                 Default: ``yes''; however, some platforms turn off MKPROFILE
225                 by default at times due to toolchain problems with profiled
226                 code.
227
228     MKSHARE     Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether files
229                 destined to reside in DESTDIR/usr/share will be built and in-
230                 stalled during a build.  If set to ``no'', then all of
231                 MKCATPAGES, MKDOC, MKINFO, MKMAN, and MKNLS will be set to
232                 ``no'' unconditionally.
233
234                 Default: ``yes''
235
236     MKUNPRIVED  Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether an un-
237                 privileged install will occur.  The user, group, permissions,
238                 and file flags, will not be set on the installed item; in-
239                 stead the information will be appended to a file called
240                 METALOG in DESTDIR.  The contents of METALOG is used during
241                 the generation of the distribution tar files to ensure that
242                 the appropriate file ownership is stored.
243
244                 Default: ``no''
245
246     MKUPDATE    Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether all in-
247                 stall operations intended to write to DESTDIR will compare
248                 file timestamps before installing, and skip the install phase
249                 if the destination files are up-to-date.  This also has im-
250                 plications on full builds (see next subsection).
251
252                 Default: ``no''
253
254     TOOLDIR     Directory to hold the host tools, once built.  This directory
255                 should be unique to a given host system and NetBSD source
256                 tree.  (However, multiple targets may share the same TOOLDIR;
257                 the target-dependent files have unique names.)  If unset, a
258                 default based on the uname(1) information of the host plat-
259                 form will be created in the .OBJDIR of src.
260
261                 Default: Unset.
262
263     USETOOLS    Indicates whether the tools specified by TOOLDIR should be
264                 used as part of a build in progress.  Must be set to ``yes''
265                 if cross-compiling.
266
267                 yes    Use the tools from TOOLDIR.
268
269                 no     Do not use the tools from TOOLDIR, but refuse to build
270                        native compilation tool components that are version-
271                        specific for that tool.
272
273                 never  Do not use the tools from TOOLDIR, even when building
274                        native tool components.  This is similar to the tradi-
275                        tional NetBSD build method, but does not verify that
276                        the compilation tools in use are up-to-date enough in
277                        order to build the tree successfully.  This may cause
278                        build or runtime problems when building the whole
279                        NetBSD source tree.
280
281                 Default: ``yes'' if building all or part of a whole NetBSD
282                 source tree (detected automatically); ``no'' otherwise (to
283                 preserve traditional semantics of the <bsd.*.mk> make(1) in-
284                 clude files).
285
286   "make" variables for full builds
287     These variables only affect the top level ``Makefile'' and do not affect
288     manually building subtrees of the NetBSD source code.
289
290     INSTALLWORLDDIR  Location for the ``make installworld'' target to install
291                      to.
292
293                      Default: ``/''
294
295     MKOBJDIRS        Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  Indicates whether ob-
296                      ject directories will be created automatically (via a
297                      ``make obj'' pass) at the start of a build.
298
299                      Default: ``no''
300
301     MKUPDATE         Can be set to ``yes'' or ``no''.  If set, then in addi-
302                      tion to the effects described for MKUPDATE=yes above,
303                      this implies the effects of NOCLEANDIR (i.e., ``make
304                      cleandir'' is avoided).
305
306                      Default: ``no''
307
308     NBUILDJOBS       Now obsolete.  Use the make(1) option -j, instead (see
309                      below)
310
311                      Default: Unset.
312
313     NOCLEANDIR       If set, avoids the ``make cleandir'' phase of a full
314                      build.  This has the effect of allowing only changed
315                      files in a source tree to be recompiled.  This can speed
316                      up builds when updating only a few files in the tree.
317
318                      Default: Unset.
319
320     NODISTRIBDIRS    If set, avoids the ``make distrib-dirs'' phase of a full
321                      build.  This skips running mtree(8) on DESTDIR, useful
322                      on systems where building as an unprivileged user, or
323                      where it is known that the system-wide mtree files have
324                      not changed.
325
326                      Default: Unset.
327
328     NOINCLUDES       If set, avoids the ``make includes'' phase of a full
329                      build.  This has the effect of preventing make(1) from
330                      thinking that some programs are out-of-date simply be-
331                      cause the system include files have changed.  However,
332                      this option should not be used when updating the entire
333                      NetBSD source tree arbitrarily; it is suggested to use
334                      MKUPDATE=yes in that case.
335
336                      Default: Unset.
337
338     RELEASEDIR       If set, specifies the directory to which a release(7)
339                      layout will be written at the end of a ``make release''.
340
341                      Default: Unset.
342
343                      Note: build.sh will provide a default of releasedir (in
344                      the top-level .OBJDIR) unless run in `expert' mode

346BUILDING
347   "make" command line options
348     This is only a summary of options available to make(1); only the options
349     used most frequently with NetBSD builds are listed here.
350
351     -j njob    Run up to njob make(1) subjobs in parallel.  Makefiles should
352                use .WAIT or have explicit dependancies as necessary to en-
353                force build ordering.  If you see build failures with -j,
354                please save complete build logs so the failures can be ana-
355                lyzed.
356
357     -m dir     Specify the default directory for searching for system Make-
358                file segments, mainly the <bsd.*.mk> files.  When building any
359                full NetBSD source tree, this should be set to the
360                ``share/mk'' directory in the source tree.  (This is set auto-
361                matically when building from the top level.)
362
363     -n         Display the commands that would have been executed, but do not
364                actually execute them.  This will still cause recursion to
365                take place.
366
367     -v var     Print make(1)'s idea of the value of var.  Does not build any
368                targets.
369
370     var=value  Set the variable var to value, overriding any setting speci-
371                fied by the process environment, the MAKECONF configuration
372                file, or the system Makefile segments.
373
374   "make" targets
375     These default targets may be built by running make(1) in any subtree of
376     the NetBSD source code.  It is recommended that none of these be used
377     from the top level Makefile; as a specific exception, ``make obj'' and
378     ``make cleandir'' are useful in that context.
379
380     all        Build programs, libraries, and preformatted documentation.
381
382     clean      Remove program and library object code files.
383
384     cleandir   Same as clean, but also remove preformatted documentation, de-
385                pendency files generated by ``make depend'', and any other
386                files known to be created at build time.  ``make distclean''
387                may be used as a synonym, for familiarity with a similar well-
388                known convention.
389
390     depend     Create dependency files (.depend) containing more detailed in-
391                formation about the dependencies of source code on header
392                files.  Allows programs to be recompiled automatically when a
393                dependency changes.
394
395     dependall  Does a ``make depend'' immediately followed by a ``make all''.
396                This improves cache locality of the build since both passes
397                read the source files in their entirety.
398
399     includes   Build and install system header files.  Typically needed be-
400                fore any system libraries or programs can be built.
401
402     install    Install programs, libraries, and documentation into DESTDIR.
403                Few files will be installed to DESTDIR/dev, DESTDIR/etc,
404                DESTDIR/root or DESTDIR/var in order to prevent user supplied
405                configuration data from being overwritten.
406
407     lint       Run lint(1) against the C source code, where appropriate, and
408                generate system-installed lint libraries.
409
410     obj        Create object directories to be used for built files, instead
411                of building directly in the source tree.
412
413     tags       Create ctags(1) searchable function lists usable by the ex(1)
414                and vi(1) text editors.
415
416   "make" targets for the top level
417     Additional make(1) targets are usable specifically from the top source
418     level to facilitate building the entire NetBSD source tree.
419
420     build         Build the entire NetBSD system.  This orders portions of
421                   the source tree such that prerequisites will be built in
422                   the proper order.
423
424     distribution  Do a ``make build'', and then install a full distribution
425                   into DESTDIR, including files in DESTDIR/dev, DESTDIR/etc,
426                   DESTDIR/root and DESTDIR/var.
427
428     buildworld    As per ``make distribution'', except that it ensures that
429                   DESTDIR is not the root directory.
430
431     installworld  Install the distribution from DESTDIR to INSTALLWORLDDIR
432                   (which defaults to the root directory).  Ensures that
433                   INSTALLWORLDDIR is the not root directory if cross compil-
434                   ing.
435
436                   Note: It is highly recommended that you upgrade your kernel
437                   and reboot before performing this operation.
438
439     sets          Create distribution sets from DESTDIR into
440                   RELEASEDIR/MACHINE/binary/sets.  Should be run after ``make
441                   distribution'' (as ``make build'' does not install all of
442                   the required files).
443
444     sourcesets    Create source sets of the source tree into
445                   RELEASEDIR/source/sets.
446
447     release       Do a ``make distribution'', build kernels, distribution me-
448                   dia, and install sets (this as per ``make sets''), and then
449                   package the system into a standard release layout as de-
450                   scribed by release(7).  This requires that RELEASEDIR be
451                   set (see above).
452
453     regression-tests
454                   Can only be run after building the regression tests in the
455                   directory ``regress''.  Runs the compiled regression tests
456                   on the local host.
457
458   The "build.sh" script
459     This script file is a Bourne shell script designed to build the entire
460     NetBSD system on any host with a Bourne shell in /bin/sh, including many
461     that are not POSIX compliant.  Note that if a host system's /bin/sh is
462     unusually old and broken, the Korn Shell (/bin/ksh), if available, may be
463     a usable alternative.
464
465     All cross-compile builds, and most native builds, of the entire system
466     should make use of build.sh rather than just running ``make''.  This way,
467     the make(1) program will be bootstrapped properly, in case the host sys-
468     tem has an older or incompatible ``make'' program.
469
470     When compiling the entire system via build.sh, many make(1) variables are
471     set for you in order to help encapsulate the build process.  In the list
472     of options below, variables that are automatically set by build.sh are
473     noted where applicable.
474
475     The following operations are supported by build.sh:
476
477     build         Build the system as per ``make build''.  This option im-
478                   plies the obj and tools operations.
479
480     distribution  Build a full distribution as per ``make distribution''.
481                   This option implies the build operation.
482
483     release       Build a full release as per ``make release''.  This option
484                   implies the distribution operation.
485
486     makewrapper   Create the nbmake-MACHINE wrapper.  This operation is auto-
487                   matically performed for any of the other operations.
488
489     obj           Perform ``make obj''.
490
491     tools         Build and install the host tools from src/tools.
492
493     install=idir  Install the contents of DESTDIR to idir, using ``make
494                   installworld''.
495
496     kernel=kconf  Build a new kernel.  The kconf argument is the name of a
497                   configuration file suitable for use by config(8).  If kconf
498                   does not contain any `/' characters, the configuration file
499                   is expected to be found in the KERNCONFDIR directory, which
500                   is typically sys/arch/MACHINE/conf.  The new kernel will be
501                   built in a subdirectory of KERNOBJDIR, which is typically
502                   sys/arch/MACHINE/compile or an associated object directory.
503                   In order to ensure that the kernel is built using up-to-
504                   date tools, it is strongly recommended that the tools be
505                   rebuilt (using the tools operation).
506
507     releasekernel=kconf
508                   Install a gzip(1)ed copy of the kernel built by
509                   kernel=kconf into RELEASEDIR/MACHINE/binary/kernel, usually
510                   as netbsd-kconf.gz, although the ``netbsd'' prefix is de-
511                   termined from the ``config'' directives in kconf.
512
513     sets          Perform ``make sets''.
514
515     sourcesets    Perform ``make sourcesets''.
516
517     The following command line options alter the behaviour of the above oper-
518     ations: The following command line options alter the behaviour of the
519     build.sh operations described above:
520
521     -a arch   Set the value of MACHINE_ARCH to arch.
522
523     -B buildid
524               Set the value of BUILDID to buildid.  This will also append the
525               build idenfitier to the name of the ``make'' wrapper script so
526               that the resulting name is of the form
527               ``nbmake-MACHINE-BUILDID''.
528
529     -D dest   Set the value of DESTDIR to dest.
530
531     -E        Set `expert' mode.  This overrides various sanity checks, and
532               allows: DESTDIR does not have to be set to a non-root path for
533               builds, and MKUNPRIVED=yes does not have to be set when build-
534               ing as a non-root user.
535
536               Note: It is highly recommended that you know what you are doing
537               when you use this option.
538
539     -j njob   Passed through to make(1).  Makefiles should use .WAIT or have
540               explicit dependancies as necessary to enforce build ordering.
541               If you see build failures with -j, please save complete build
542               logs so the failures can be analyzed.
543
544     -M obj    Set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX to obj.  Unsets MAKEOBJDIR.
545
546     -m mach   Set the value of MACHINE to mach.  This will also override any
547               value of MACHINE_ARCH in the process environment with a value
548               deduced from mach, unless -a is specified, or mach is a special
549               case listed below.  All cross builds require -m, but if unset
550               on a NetBSD host, the host's value of MACHINE will be detected
551               and used automatically.
552
553               Some machines support multiple values for MACHINE_ARCH.  For a
554               given value of mach, the following MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH
555               values will result:
556
557                     mach          MACHINE    MACHINE_ARCH
558                     evbmips       evbmips    (not set)
559                     evbmips-eb    evbmips    mipseb
560                     evbmips-el    evbmips    mipsel
561                     evbsh3        evbsh3     (not set)
562                     evbsh3-eb     evbsh3     sh3eb
563                     evbsh3-el     evbsh3     sh3el
564                     sbmips        sbmips     (not set)
565                     sbmips-eb     sbmips     mipseb
566                     sbmips-el     sbmips     mipsel
567
568     -n        Show the commands that would be executed by build.sh, but do
569               not make any changes.  This is similar in concept to ``make
570               -n''.
571
572     -O obj    Create an appropriate transform macro for MAKEOBJDIR that will
573               place the built object files under obj.  For instance, a set-
574               ting of /usr/obj will place build-time files under
575               /usr/obj/bin, /usr/obj/lib, /usr/obj/usr.bin, and so forth.
576               Unsets MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX.
577
578     -o        Set the value of MKOBJDIRS to ``no''.  Otherwise, it will be
579               automatically set to ``yes'' (which is opposite to the default
580               behaviour).
581
582     -R rel    Set the value of RELEASEDIR to rel.
583
584     -r        Remove the contents of DESTDIR and TOOLDIR before building
585               (provides a clean starting point).  This will skip deleting
586               DESTDIR if building on a native system to the root directory.
587
588     -T tools  Set the value of TOOLDIR to tools.  If set, the bootstrap
589               ``make'' will only be rebuilt as needed (when the source files
590               for make(1) change).
591
592     -U        Set MKUNPRIVED=yes.
593
594     -u        Set MKUPDATE=yes.
595
596     -V var=[value]
597               Set the environment variable var to an optional value.  This is
598               propagated to the nbmake wrapper.
599
600     -w wrapper
601               Create the nbmake wrapper script (see below) in a custom loca-
602               tion, specified by wrapper.  This allows, for instance, to
603               place the wrapper in PATH automatically.  Note that wrapper is
604               the full name of the file, not just a directory name.
605
606     -Z var    Unset ("zap") the environment variable var.  This is propagated
607               to the nbmake wrapper.
608
609   The "nbmake-MACHINE" wrapper script
610     If using the build.sh script to build NetBSD, a nbmake-MACHINE script
611     will be created in TOOLDIR/bin upon the first build to assist in building
612     subtrees on a cross-compile host.
613
614     nbmake-MACHINE can be invoked in lieu of make(1), and will instead call
615     the up-to-date version of ``nbmake'' installed into TOOLDIR/bin with sev-
616     eral key variables pre-set, including MACHINE, MACHINE_ARCH, and TOOLDIR.
617     build.sh will also set variables specified with -V, and unset variables
618     specified with -Z.
619
620     This script can be symlinked into a directory listed in PATH, or called
621     with an absolute path.
622
623EXAMPLES
624     1.   ./build.sh tools kernel=GENERIC
625
626          Build a new toolchain, and use the new toolchain to configure and
627          build a new GENERIC kernel.
628
629     2.   ./build.sh -U distribution
630
631          Using unprivileged mode, build a complete distribution to a DESTDIR
632          directory that build.sh selects (and will display).
633
634     3.   # ./build.sh -U install=/
635
636          As root, install to / the distribution that was built by example 2.
637          Even though this is run as root, -U is required so that the permis-
638          sions stored in DESTDIR/METALOG are correctly applied to the files
639          as they're copied to /.
640
641     4.   ./build.sh -U -u release
642
643          Using unprivileged mode, build a complete release to DESTDIR and
644          RELEASEDIR directories that build.sh selects (and will display).
645          MKUPDATE=yes (-u) is set to prevent the ``make cleandir'', so that
646          if this is run after example 2, it doesn't need to redo that portion
647          of the release build.
648
649OBSOLETE VARIABLES
650     NBUILDJOBS  Use the make(1) option -j, instead.
651
652     USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
653                 The new toolchain is now the default.  To disable, use
654                 TOOLCHAIN_MISSING=yes.
