Hello,

I wanted to apply all patches from errata plus the minor modifications
which are not on the errata page. For that I read the instructions from
www.openbsd.org/stable.html and started by untarring the src.tar.gz file
from my OpenBSD 3.3 CD-ROM in /usr/src. After that I did the following
CVS command:

# cd /usr; cvs checkout -P -rOPENBSD_3_3 src

to apply the patches and minor modifications (patch branch).

After that I recompiled the kernel, rebooted and then finished with the
following commands (to rebuild the binaries):

# cd /usr/src
# rm -r /usr/obj/*
# make obj && make build

So far so good everything works but I have the feeling that this rebuild
of binaries is really building _ALL_ the binaries possible not only the
ones that were updated. Is that normal ?

I am on a Sun SPARCstation 5 with a 85 MHz CPU so if possible I would
just like to compile the binaries which have been patched (or changed)
not the whole binaries, is that possible ?

Regards
