:   http://www.Leidinger.net/test/ctf3.diff
: 
: My commit log would be something like this:
: ---snip---
: WITH_CTF can now be specified in src.conf (not recommended, there
: are some problems with static executables), make.conf (would also
: affect ports which do not use GNU make and do not override the
: compile targets) or in the kernel config (via "makeoptions
: WITH_CTF=yes").
: 
: Additional (related) changes:
:  - propagate WITH_CTF to module builds
:  - do not add -g to the linker flags, it's a noop there anyway
:    (at least according to the man page of ld)
:  - do not add -g yo CFLAGS unconditionally
:    we need to have a look if it is really needed (IMO not) or if there
:    is a way to add it only when WITH_CTF is used
: 
: Note: don't worry when you see ctfconvert lines appearing in your
: build,
: they are protected with a shell conditional and are not run as long as
: you don't have WITH_CTF defined.
: 
: Reviewed by:    imp, jhb, scottl (earlier version)
: Discussed on:   arch@
: ---snip---
: 
: If nobody comes up with problems (or wants more time for the review):
: I would like to commit this next week.

I agree with John about the @ sign.

I'm a little worried about the WITH_CTF being special, but not
documented as being special.  Can you add a note to bsd.own.mk
documenting it as such?

Also, can you document WITH_CTF in build.9 please?  I know that
build.9 needs some updating, but we should at least try to keep up
with new things.  Many are missing now.  This would also be a good
place to mention WITH_CTF is special.
