On Sat 12 Apr 2003, thus spake Kris Kennaway:

I would never have thought that it would have worked except for the
sentence in the release notes that said: "It is now possible to make
releases of FreeBSD 5-CURRENT on a FreeBSD 4-STABLE host and vice
versa."  http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/relnotes-i386.html#AEN4441

> 'make world' will work fine.

Thanks!
