Trivial in FreeBSD. Just make it so in Makefile for the installworld target, add false to itools, and add appropriate special casing in bsd.compiler.mk. Doing this just prevents recompiling though, so not pjd's case. Also, this might break someone's random usecase where they need CC/CXX to do something meaningful at install time, however, the likelihood of it being correct is slim IMHO..Received on Thu Aug 27 2015 - 06:22:46 UTC
