My changes tell how to build FreeBSD versions of YACC input (.y) files, and how to build FreeBSD versions of YACC output (.c and .h) files. This is only different from your version by letting sys.mk rules run yacc(1), in one well defined way. These changes also resemble those that were before your WIP_GCC31 merge, and for which you already agreed by committing them. Not to say they fix a real bug in the -j case and fix CLEANFILES.

Sorry I sent you too many patches which fixed bugs or added features. Sorry you can't hold an exclusive lock on the whole FreeBSD. Is this really your sight at things? I'm amazed. What you call "hounding" would better be classified as a pure technical feedback including patches and asking related questions, and maintainer is excepted to deal with this load, either accepting patches or rejecting them (giving valid technical reasons). If you aren't capable of accepting useful "critics" (in the form of patches and answering questions), I think you should seriously reconsider whether you really want to continue be a MAINTAINER. (I say "critics" because that's how you probably take what I call "feedback".) > People are really making me regret that I sweated over GCC 3 to bring it > into our tree for all of our architectures and to get many serious bugs > fixed in the FSF CVS repository. > What reward do you need for this? So that nobody reviews your commits, or looks to anything you are maintaining? You want the "god mode" in FreeBSD? Sorry but I'm affraid this is not possible, or FreeBSD should be renamed to ObrienBSD. GCC and Binutils are essential part of FreeBSD, sitting in its heart, and many other folks including me work on related issues, and apparently look to the work you're doing. From my first days in the project, I took it as a joint effort thing, in fact that's one of the reasons I agreed to become a committer, but behavior like you are demonstrating doesn't fold into this. What you don't seem to realize is that people like me and BDE _don't_ blame you but are just trying to help you do the work done. It's a real pita you see the things in a different light.
