> got a question regarding /sys/src/cmd/mklib, why aren't HFILES copied to /$objtype/include?

the headers aren't programmatically generated
so the mkfiles don't get involved.
a human writes them and saves them in the appropriate
place.  your question is a little like asking why *.c isn't
copied to /sys/src/cmd.

also, /$objtype/include does not hold many header files
at all.  the portable headers go in /sys/include, and only
machine-dependent headers (u.h) go in /$objtype/include.
