It seems to work as advertised. Except /usr/src is wrong if the current
sources are not in /usr/src. Somebody should have said:
cd /wherever/the/current/sources/are
make -m `pwd`/share/mk world

Nothing. -m doesn't work in FreeBSD-2.1.any, so it can't be used
unconditionally. Somebody should have said that the above only works
in FreeBSD-2.2.any (and in certain versions of -current).

No, we want to use the mk files in ${.CURDIR}/share/mk :-).

It is nonsense. It says to search for the mk files in the "buildworld"
subdirectory of the current directory and make the default target (all).
It has nothing to do with the world targets. Setting MACHINE_ARCH helps
avoid syntax errors in src/Makefile and setting BINFORMAT helps avoid
syntax errors in bsd.own.mk but otherwise have very little effect for
the `all' target.

libc. Libraries are rebuilt by `make world', by LIBDIR is set wrong
by the old mk files, so the linker can't find the new libraries. The
settings of LIBDIR, MACHINE_ARCH and BINFORMAT seem to be the only
things that are really broken.

About 11 steps too many for FreeBSD :-). Steps 2-8 break things in
certain configurations that `make world' is supposed to handle. Steps
4-5 tend to _cause_ the ___error problem. Of course you can work around
the breakage by doing fixup steps if you understand the makefiles.
