Thank you for explaining this.  I knew that the actual build was being
done in the ISA-specific modulation but I didn't fully understand what
build-global was for.

Thank you I'm looking at this now and starting to understand better.

not sure what this means, does this mean /usr/ucb/install is going to
be used? Shouldn't I use /opt/csw/bin/ginstall instead?

INSTALL_OVERRIDE_VARS = INSTALL
INSTALL_OVERRIDE_VAR_INSTALL = /usr/ucb/install



Thanks,
