I agree, and it is indeed my doing. The problem began with trouble
understanding the freebsd-update script. This has now been resolved.

The system is of the Intel Xeon 5000X variety
At 8.1-RELEASE, I had used portsnap only, and had not touched the kernel

be no linking issues if only the ports collection was updated. Philip is
right, my ports and system were out of sync.
