  • Change the invocations of make in the output directory Makefile and the
    main Makefile for separate object trees to pass all goals to one $(MAKE)
    via a new phony target "sub-make" and the existing target _all.

    When compiling with separate object directories, a separate make is called
    in the context of another directory (from the output directory the main
    Makefile is called, the Makefile is then restarted with current directory
    set to the object tree). Before this patch, when multiple make command
    goals are specified, each target results in a separate make invocation.
    With make -j, these invocations may run in parallel, resulting in multiple
    commands running in the same directory clobbering each others results.

    I did not try to address make -j for mixed dot-config and no-dot-config
    targets. Because the order does matter, a solution was not obvious.
    Perhaps a simple check for MAKEFLAGS having -j and refusing to run would
    be appropriate.

  • Change the conditional of the outputmakefile rule to be evaluated entirely
    in make, and add a conditional to not touch the generated makefile when e.g.
    running 'make install' as root while the build was done as non-root. Also
    adjust the comment describing this, and move the message printing and
    redirection to mkmakefile.

  • With the current way of generating the Makefile in the output directory
    for builds outside of the source tree, specifying real targets (rather
    than phony ones) doesn't work in an already (partially) built tree, as
    the stub Makefile doesn't have any dependency information available.
    Thus, all targets where files may actually exist must be listed
    explicitly and, due to what I'd call a make misbehavior, directory
    targets must then also be special cased.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
