Nope, I was referring to the recursion that you mentioned here:

I believe you are talking about the "makdir" 6809 binary in os9. No,
that one is not used during cross-building. I was talking about the
"os9" command from toolshed, which is run on the host computer.

If you don't have commit access, or want to have it peer reviewed
before committing, please post a patch to the bug or discussion
tracker on the nitros9 sourceforge site. BTW, forget about cvs, it is
all hg now. The old cvs repo is still there for historical purposes
but is not being updated.
