I'll second all these points.
Also, ``clean'' needs removing from:
cd src/usr.bin/genassym
make depend all install clean
cd ../../usr.sbin/config
make depend all install clean
because doing a ``make clean'' at this point then causes ``make
installworld'' fail in those directories. The cure of course is to do
a ``make all'' in those directories before ``make installworld''.
Finally, is this resolved yet?
This message appeared 166 times during ``make buildworld'':
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.4" not found
It also caused config(8) on the new kernel to fail, but
ldconfig -R /usr/obj/usr/src/lib/libc
cured that.
