-current didn't seem to be the place for this...
The Makefile in the current source tree says `make aout-to-elf-build' and
`make aout-to-elf-install' should upgrade my 2.2-STABLE system from
-current sources. I supped -current yesterday.
Back in July Doug White reported getting the same thing that I got while
trying to build -current on a -stable system. The "Unknown pseudo op:
.section" errors from the assembler:
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:73: Error: Unknown pseudo-op: `.section'
*** Error code 1
The -current archives reported that using "make -m /usr/src/share/mk
buildworld" will fix this error.
I tried "make -m /usr/src/share/mk aout-to-elf-build" to do the upgrade. I
tried "make -m /usr/src/share/mk buildworld" to see if I could just get
the darn thing to build. Same error all three times.
So...
Are the instructions in /usr/src/Makefile wrong?
Is the Makefile(s) itself broke?
Is the user missing the big picture?
