Just FYI, as Ruslan predicted it worked with one minor glitch. The
crt1.c thing was apparently the problem and the above procedure did
produce static executables that worked. /usr/src had been copied
into my chroot space using tar and /usr/obj was already a symlink
so I didn't need the mounts, just adjusted the symlink temporarily.
I spent a little time wondering why 'make installworld' resulted
in:
+@cd: not found
but then got the idea it was probably make version issues, copied
/usr/share/mk out of my chroot directory to /usr/share and that
was all it took.
Beast has survived a second "make buildworld/installworld" run using
the normal procedures so ...
