I've just tried rebuilding everything and the xenv build all went very
smoothly.  I'm just having trouble building the test images now, I get a
strange error from coymerge that I don't understand.  The errors seem to
be caused by the build process doing something like:

  cd base/test/testTextConsole
  make BUILD/i386-unknown-coyotos/testTextConsole.merge

from which I get this back:

  /home/sam/build/coyotos/coyotos/host/bin/mkimage -t i386 -o BUILD/i386-unknown-coyotos/testTextConsole.img -I. -LBUILD/i386-unknown-coyotos --MD --MF BUILD/i386-unknown-coyotos/.testTextConsole.img.m -f testTextConsole.mki

  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm sorry to say that I don't know objcopy well enough to know what it
should be doing.  While attempting to figure out what was going on I
noticed that coymerge wasn't removing its temporary files properly.  It
seems to be caused by the following minor typo:

Just in case they're helpful I've included the results from running:

  make -k nodepend clean > ../clean.log 2>&1

  make -k install        > ../install.log 2>&1

Hum, I've just realised that I left -x set in the coymerge script for
the log of the isntall.  That could be useful for you, so I won't run it
again without.
