|It does invoke makesetup (that's how the Makefile in Modules gets
|written). I'm also running FreeBSD 2.2.8, so it may be a bug in /bin/sh
|that has been subsequently fixed... The quick test is to try this on

|
|$ read line
|some text here\
|
|On my 2.2.8 machine after I hit return after the \, I get a command line
|prompt, not a "blank prompt" that would mean that the read wasn't done.
It must be something else then, because here with stock Bourne shell:
|$ read line
|some text here\
|$ echo $line
|some text here\
I get the same behavior you describe, but no build breakage.
