Not quite..... 

But that was indicated in the message where I reported my adventures
on installing the new kernel the same way.

I rebooted and was presented with lots of messages suggestion I'd
install a new world as well. Things like: "userland call ........"

And the even more wierd thing is that:
    make installworld
does not work, and generates a signal 12 with the install(1) it uses.

But:
    /usr/obj/usr/src51/src/make.i386/make -f Makefile.inc1 reinstall
does not suffer from this problem.
Also just going into those directories and do:
    make install
gets the work done.

So I think somewhere in there the wrong install is being used.

But manually updating /usr/bin/install first with a new version
does not help either. ???

And at that point I felt I got into the stage where the answer would be:
    "too far of the beaten track, just don't do it that way"
And dug through the Makefiles and found 'reinstall' in Makefile.inc1
