Softupdates is enabled on / as well as other partitions. The buildworld completes with a hitch. Then installworld always fails when updating /sbin with / file system full. After the failure, when I did df, I saw 9MB left. Then I thought that softupdates was delay^H^H^H^H^Hoptimizing the temporary file space reclaim which install -s (stripping) creates and deletes very quickly during installworld. It turned off softupdates and tried installworld. Bingo! It completed. So be careful when your / is running out and do make world/installworld. FYI.
