Dear Alfred Perlstein,

<caution type=3D"I haven't (as yet) tried this">=20

From the posts I have been reading, I seem to understand that the=20
following may apply (depending on the divergence/relationship between=20
-CURRENT and -STABLE):

-- It may be necessary to downgrade the toolchain (e.g. binutils;=20
gcc);
-- It may be necessary to downgrade "script"utils (ie perl).

</caution>

Best regards,
Salvo
