<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Times New Roman">Weird, as usual…</FONT>
<BR><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Times New Roman">I ended up changing the > config.mak to a >> config.mak, and it cleared OK. I did the same with distro.mak, at line 55 (made it a >> instead of a >).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Times New Roman">Doing that the bootstrap went fine. </FONT>
<BR><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Times New Roman">I then restored bootstrap (changed >> back to >), deleted the two .mak files, reran bootstrap and it worked OK.</FONT>
<BR><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Times New Roman">For some reason it just wasn't happy with the brand new trunk, needed that little "magic" step.</FONT>
