It tries to load toolchain_metadata from $OBJTOP, but it is defined not as "/mnt/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64", but as "/mnt/usr/obj/mnt/usr/src/amd64.amd64". MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is "/mnt/usr/obj". I have tried figuring out the makefiles, but can't understand how $OBJTOP is created from $MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX. Looks like a bug that is inserting the additional /mnt. Is it somehow getting there from $DESTDIR? -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
