what if you read the code and convinced yourself that
the pages of code trying to help you are patching
the wrong algorithm? there's a nice bit of unneeded
transitive closure code in there. i looked at mk
a lot before writing mash. mash does a breadth-first
search for a singular answer, using each rule only once.
my active server mashfile looks like your mkfile but it
works. and mashes search code is a page (and a bit?) and
you probably have it. mk works if you don't stray from
the path that works - it works well at building plan9.
you could use gmake - it has lotsa other cool bugs.
