The standard metric has been 'make buildworld' I thought? Anyway, try
with revision 1.2 of var_modify.c, that should do it.
Realistically, to prevent any sort of breakage to make(1), we should
test make(1) by building every port that does not USE_GMAKE, and do
release, and do cross-release. Or just not modify it, except for
bugfixes, which should be tested as above.
Anyone want to offer a machine to do this?
Thanks for the report,
juli.
