You _can_ rebuild just libc, but you must use sources synchronized with the installed base. In other words, use the same sources used to build world. > since you don't know me, i won't take offence to the linux reference (i've > not really touched/admin'd any linux machines since about 97, and there've > been worlds of changes since then from what i've heard and read) or to the > lack of knowledge about FreeBSD. No offense intended. My assumption is simply that folks who're not familiar with the tight coupling of FreeBSD's userland and kernel are likely to come from a Linux background, where this does not exist. > granted, doing a buildworld to rebuild the entire base system is a bit > better of a habit (it's what i ususally do), rebuilding everything to test > a "modified" compiler is a bit excessive. The "mistake" you made was to update your sources to do this, instead of just using the sources used for the last upgrade (or the sources installed with the binary upgrade / installation).
