System: NetBSD shark.slow-10.shagadelic.org 1.5X NetBSD 1.5X (SHAG-SHARK) #0: Thu Aug 16 19:27:52 PDT 2001     thorpej@shark.slow-10.shagadelic.org:/amd/yeah-baby/u1/netbsd/src/sys/arch/arm32/compile/SHAG-SHARK arm32
Architecture: arm32
Machine: arm32
>Description:
	The include strategy of the ARM port breaks down if using
	SYS_INCLUDES=symlinks (a very useful option for developers).

	What happens is that the sys/arch/arm32/include/arm32 directory
	is removed and then replaced with a symlink that points to itself.
	This is caused by machinery that expects to be operating in an
	area that is not the source tree itself.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Perform a "make build" with SYS_INCLUDES=symlinks in /etc/mk.conf.

>Fix:
	The bsd.kinc.mk logic should be taught to skip the rm -r/symlink
	step in a generic way for this particular case (subdir of an
	include directory).  Alternatively, a different include or directory
	traversal strategy should be found.
