Some time ago it was noticed (by both myself and others) that the conditional code to implement some of the system build options in src.conf(5) was badly broken. Several options with broke the build or just didn't work correctly. Mostly incorrect nesting of if statements in the file. b.f. has made a patch for this and submitted it some time ago to re, but I suspect that it fell through the cracks with all of the critical issues to be attended to before 8.0 is ready. The PR is conf/137483. The breakage to buildworld is unquestionable and will bite a lot of systems when 8.0 is released. The patch is pretty straight-forward. I have been using it since I started running 8.0 a couple of months ago. I know RE has a lot to do in a very short time, but I would really hope that this can be addressed. And, if it can't be done for 8.0, can someone at least commit this to HEAD so it can be MFCed to make it easier for those who hit this problem in 8.0-RELEASE? -- R.
