I’ve been sort of following your work with Glynn to improve Mac compiling. If I compile from CVS today, will it work OK as before or am I likely to run into trouble?

There is no problem in the actual compiling. The problem is the old make on OSX will recompile *everything* after a successful make if you run make again (like you might do when you modify a source file, but then you could make individual modules to avoid recompiling everything).

Theory of the Universe
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Actually, the current CVS version of Rules.make contains the check for
"ifeq ($(MAKE_VERSION),3.81)", so that shouldn't occur.
OTOH, there may be some inefficiency with make versions other than
3.81, as it will attempt to create $(OBJDIR) (via a recursive make
invocation) for each object file.

I had no problem compiling, except the normal d.m error.
