Hello,

There was a change in the binary format of the programs between 3.0-R
and following releases (aout => elf ), so you can't just "make world"

So a source upgrade is quite involved (you may search for make
aout-to-elf buildworld and make aout-to-elf installworld in the archives
of -Current and -Stable mailing lists)

I would stronlgy suggest installing a new OS (from a 3.2-S snapshot)
instead of trying to make this particular upgrade via the sources.
