Sure.  I agree its a bug, if my usage of the XDEV target is supposed to
be supported.

I don't know who owns this target, what its supposed to be used for, nor
what its requirements are.  All I know is that people tell me its
supposed to meat my requirements from my original "Objective" statement.

Is this even the right make target to use?
