Is running a userspace that doesn't match the loaded kernel a supported
configuration, defined as "one not likely to bite you in the butt"?
Even if someone wants that setup, surely it's inadvisable for someone to
build a jail that's running a newer version of the OS then the host
environment, isn't it? And wouldn't that be the only reason you'd ever do
"make world DESTDIR=/foo" instead of:
# make buildworld
... appropriate intermediate steps
# make installworld
# make installworld DESTDIR=/foo
I don't want to be argumentative, so please don't take it that way. I'm
genuinely interested in the subject and want to know how other people are
maintaining their systems.
