Since this is the recommended upgrade path for going from 4.x to 5.x right now, it's an issue, if you can't cross-build 5.x on 4.x. That other things are broken doesn't really excuse this being broken. The problem is that the kldxref deserves to get its own tools build, so that there is a version that works against 5.x code that can be built on 4.x (or NetBSD or Linux or Solaris or whatever). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
