Premature use of "legacy" binaries during buildworld

TL;DR: "make -jN buildworld" can look for executables in /usr/obj/usr/src/.../tmp/legacy/bin before it populates that tree. Since this just bit me and I haven't seen in mentioned here: I was trying to run "make -j4 buildworld" and it was consistently dying with: *** [_cleanworldtmp] Error code 6 But, things seemed to get beyond that when I skipped the "-j4". With the aid of "ktrace", I tracked it down to /usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp/legacy/bin/sort complaining about a missing libmd.so.6 (only libmd.so.7 was present). After blowing away that "tmp" tree, the buildworld is working as expected. I haven't tried to dig into the buildworld logic but it seems that there's some dependency checking missing so "-jN" can result in the "legacy" binaries being executed before it has been wiped/updated. In case it matters: I'm building at 20f0996700a8 on a "diskless" Pine H64 (4-core Cortex-A53) (root on NFS, /usr/src read-only NFS) with filemon. -- Peter Jeremy
