No, the kernel doesn't depend on the new libraries and gets the new include files from their uninstalled places in the source tree (except for some bugs in libkern). Sometimes you have to be careful installing utilities to match the new kernel. There may be no correct order. I always try new kernels before new utilities because it's much easier to back out one kernel than hundreds of utilities and the utilities that break usually aren't necessary for starting up. Add /usr/src/share/mk to the top of my list. Bruce
