BUG in a kernel mkfile

BUG in a kernel mkfile

[Vadim]

Strange -- i cannot reproduce it. When i first did
it i used 1.0 binaries in /386/bin, though; and loaded
newer ones later.  The problem was that everything
in $names was one space-separated string, not an array.

Sorry for the false alarm.

If this is a bug I don't understand how I've ever been able to make a kernel.
The distributed mkfile works fine for me.

the mkfile is correct as released.

In 2.0 distribution:

1. Can't compile kernel

FIX:    In file /sys/src/9/boot/mkfile
        replace lines

        ar uv $LIBRARY $names
        rm -f $names

        with

        eval ar uvc $LIBRARY $names
        eval rm -rf $names

(Sorry, i discovered it two weeks ago and forgot to post).
