[9fans] silly bind quetsion

[steve.simon]

Hi,

I want to overload some of the commands in /bin, and some of the
commands in /bin/ip. I have
	/usr/local/386/bin
	/usr/local/386/bin/ip
If run
	bind -b /usr/local/386/bin /386/bin
	bind -b /usr/local/386/bin/ip /386/bin/ip 

Then the ip/ping always fails as my local ip directory
is found before the standard one.

Is there an elegant solution to this?

Or do I have to do somthing like:
	/usr/local/386/bin
	/usr/local/386/bin-ip
If run
	bind -b /usr/local/386/bin /386/bin
	bind -b /usr/local/386/bin-ip /386/bin/ip

You have to bind each directory separately, but pay
attention to the order, because once you
bind /local/bin to /386/bin
if you mention /386/bin/ip you are referring to the bound
version of it (i.e. /local/bin, in the example bind I wrote
before).

you could do

	bind -a /386/bin/ip /usr/local/386/bin/ip
	bind -b /usr/local/386/bin /386/bin

i knew there was a reason this seemed weird.
i think the more common way to do this would be

	bind -b /usr/local/386/bin /bin
	bind -a /386/bin/ip /bin/ip

so that /bin is the only directory that ends
up being a union.  the source mkfiles assume
that /386/bin is not a union (install goes into
/$objtype/bin, which doesn't really make sense
when you've got a union).
