Well, I thought I'd hop on the bandwagon and do some testing for the 
2.2.5-BETA cycle, as I have a plethora of machines here to set up.

In preparation for a 'make release' then I ran a buildworld on the 
-stable source tree, checked out in a suitable build arena on a 
-current box.

It appears that there are still some problems with building a tree 
that's not in /usr/src however - is this something I shouldn't be 
trying to do, or should it work?

The one that bit me was this line in <machine/asmacros.h> :

#include "/usr/src/lib/libc/i386/DEFS.h"        /* XXX blech */

/*
 * In the !KERNEL case, this header is only (ab)used in lib/msun/i387.
 * Use it to generate code to select between the generic math functions 
 * and the i387 ones.
 */

The -current DEFS.h goes on to include <machine/asm.h>, which doesn't 
exist in -stable.

Ideas?
