Yes, brute force but works, another way to do it is:  
  cd /usr/src/usr.bin/gcc
  make cleandir
  make

NOTE: no make depend!
The error you saw above is cased by make depend not creating config.h,
I have fixed this in the top level Makefile (ie /usr/src/usr.bin/gcc/Makefile)
for the next patchkit.

Next patchkit does just that!  Some one is working on a rewrite of the make
files.  (They are in the old format and have not been updated to use the
template files)

The reason that g++ fails is that it fails a mkdep, mkdep does not understand
g++ files, and the way that /usr/share/mk/bsd.prog.mk is written does not
allow you to pass the -+ flag to mkdep to make it work.  Fixed in the next
patchkit.

Quite right.  As a much easier fix to ALL of these problems, simply
change all occurances of "make" to "make -k" in buildworld.sh.  This
should cause make to continue with the next item when one fails.  

>>>Did I miss any caveats with buildworld.sh?
One I will mention... /usr/src/usr.bin/rcs fails too.  I have a fix for it.
coming in next patchkit.  There are a few others, but then I have also
tested a lot more of the source tree than what build world attempts,
ie make tags, make cleandir are to options that buildworld.sh does not
do.

>Oh well, you knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred.

I hope this helps some of you out.  I know that the new patchkit fixes
ALL of these and a few other nasty little bugs in the build treee..


*RUMOR* has it that we should be watching c.o.3.announce for some
important messages.
