I'm sorry to have to drop this on the mailing list readership...

I downloaded 2.2.6-release. acquired cvsup, and grabbed the whole source
tree, or at least what corresponds to src-all. Tried a make "buildworld"
and the top level make file blew up all over the place. Parse errors due to
environment variables like MACHINE_ARCH or BINFORMAT not being defined. I
figured it might be due to the 'old' make. Tried making just that bugger.
No dice, couldn't link cause __error was missing. What library would that
be from?

So what is the proper series of steps one needs to follow to move from the
release to -current?
