Peculiar behavor during the build process for the l440gx port

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello from Gregg C Levine
I am getting some darned strange error messages from the Python based
builder script. It seems to reject the way the config file is setup, in
favor of something totally different. Well I tried that. It did not work.
So, I setup a shell script file to automate some of the steps. And with the
exact same config file, as the one I've attached, I ended up with the exact
same output from the scripting output. Even thiough the output is provided
as a an attachment, I am going to paste it here:
Script started on Sun Nov 17 17:49:12 2002

And here is the l440gx config file:
----
# This will make a target directory of ./winfast
# Note that this is RELATIVE TO WHERE YOU ARE WHEN YOU RUN THE
# CONFIG TOOL. Make it absolute if you like
mainboard intel/l440gx

target /usr/src/lobos/work/l440gx-build/l440gx

# Enable Serial Console for debugging

-----------------------------------------
What "Config" file is it talking about? This is on Slackware 8.0, with the
current collection of tools, as of when Slackware 8.0 was released. And I am
open to suiggestions.
