Subj: 	Re: I'm confused
It's a nest of links in there, I've never used mklinks -copy in the tools
dir, only mklinks. As I said earlier, If you REALLY want to do this,
nuke everything under tools in your sandbox, and as ROOT do this:
cd backingtree
rdist -Rwc tools localhost:/path/to/your/sandbox
This should recreate the structure exactly.

| I hate to keep troubling you with this but I'm confused now.  I thought I'd g
o around
| and make things executable.  But what I discover is that there are several co
pies
| of the same image lying around.  For instance:
| 
| 1.145 marvin:ftw> pwd
| /x3/sandboxes/alphabox/tools/alpha_OSF1/alpha
| 1.146 marvin:ftw> ls
| acc/      bin/      hostbin/  lib/
| 1.147 marvin:ftw> find . -name cc -print
| ./acc/usr/bin/cc
| ./acc/usr/ccs/bin/cc
| ./acc/usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/cc
| ./acc/cc
| 1.148 marvin:ftw> find . -name ld -print
| ./acc/usr/bin/ld
| ./acc/usr/ccs/bin/ld
| ./acc/usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/cc/ld
| ./acc/ld
| 1.149 marvin:ftw> find . -name as -print
| ./acc/usr/bin/as
| ./acc/usr/ccs/bin/as
| ./acc/usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/as
| ./acc/as
| 1.150 marvin:ftw> find . -name make -print
| ./hostbin/make
| ./acc/usr/bin/make
| ./acc/usr/ccs/bin/make
| 
| 
| Mostly these are the exact same image.  But occasionally not:
| 
| 1.152 marvin:ftw> cmp ./acc/usr/bin/cc ./acc/usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/cc
| ./acc/usr/bin/cc ./acc/usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/cc differ: char 1, line 1
| 1.158 marvin:ftw> cmp ./acc/usr/bin/as ./acc/usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/as
| cmp: EOF on ./acc/usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/as
| 
| After chmod-ing lots of things I ran into the next hurdle:
| 
| 1.163 marvin:ftw> build FLAMINGO_vmunix
| relative path: ./kernel.
| cd ../../obj/alpha/kernel
