Subject: make release on aout system is busted

Hello,
    
    make release fails on an aout based system.

    A few background items.

    1. I am still running an aout -current system.
    2. cd /usr/src && make world  still  works correctly.

    The problem:

    cd /usr/src/release && make release CHROOTDIR=/snap/release \
                                        BUILDNAME=$TITLE

    fails with the following from /usr/src/Makefile.inc1:

--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Re-scanning the shared libraries..
--------------------------------------------------------------
cd /usr/src; /sbin/ldconfig -R
ldconfig: /var/run/ld.so.hints: No such file or directory
*** Error code 255

from this entry in the reinstall target:

.if ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "i386" && ${OBJFORMAT} == "aout"
        @echo
        @echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
        @echo ">>> Re-scanning the shared libraries.."  
        @echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
        cd ${.CURDIR}; /sbin/ldconfig -R
.endif


   This works correctly for 'make world' because /var/run/ld.so.hints
exists from when the system was booted up, and /etc/objformat specifies
aout as the OBJFORMAT.


   This fails during a 'make release' because it is run in a chroot'd
environment where /var/run/ld.so.hints does not exist. ie:

chroot /snap/release /mk

   which is done in /usr/src/Makefile.

   I see two options:

   1. Do not execute the ldconfig command when in the chroot'd
      environment, at which point /var/run/ld.so.hints will be
      created the 1st time an installed system is booted.

   2. ldconfig needs to be given the same default set of paths
      which are specified in /usr/src/etc/rc.conf at boot time.


   Would an appropriate person with commit ability please take 5
   minutes to look into this problem?

   Comments? Critiques?

Thanks!
John
