Y're welcome.

I also like to not build all the crap that been included in the default 
makefile.

If I'm doing a Mindy bootstrap -- I like to every so often to make sure 
it works, and it takes abot 4.5 hours on the G4 (vs 24 hours on my 
G3/266 PowerBook) -- then I use:

  cd src
  ./autogen.sh --enable-mindy-bootstrap --enable-duim=no --disable-shared

After that's done I rebuild d2c using the new d2c by using:

  cd src
  ./autogen.sh --disable-mindy --enable-duim=no --disable-shared
  cd d2c
  make
  cd ../test
  make

This saves building the "tools", "common", "duim" and "platform" 
directories every time I play with the compiler.

Actually, Rob's carbon stuff in "platform" doesn't seem to compile for 
me, due to a conflict between the definition of "bool" used by Carbon 
and d2c (d2c uses char, Carbon uses int).  I'm not yet doing Carbon 
programming using d2c so I haven't worried about this...

How do you resolve this, Rob?
