Hi All-

This will add a "me too" to a much earlier thread; however, 
going from 4.1-RELEASE to 4.1-STABLE is unnecessarily broken
in when installing the sdbm business in perl durign the upgrade
( /usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/perl/ext/SDBM_File/sdbm).

History:

1) machine was installed from 4.1-RELEASE cdrom

2) updating the machine via NFS using maproot=nobody

Problem1:  the installworld craps out with error

cd sdbm && make all
rm -rf libsdbm.a
rm: libsdmb.a: Permission denied

===> this means we have to maproot to root ... sigh.

3) If I then export it with maproot=root, then it craps out with

chmod:No such file or directory

so I then have to add chmod to line 313 of /usr/src/Makefile.inc1

... sigh

4) Then I try again .. and now it cannot find touch... 

Running Mkbootstrap for SDBM_FILE ()

touch:No such file or directory

So, does it work if I then add "touch" to Makefile.inc1?  Not to
be overly whiney (well, I guess I am), but "GEEZE, Louise. This 
is pretty badly broken."

Thanks.
S
