I'm working on it. I set up a "minimal" environment on a 2.1 machine and chroot into it. I starts out OK, but the list of required things in "minimal" is getting rediculously long. The problem is in "proving" that I am using code "bootstrapped" from the -current sources. I'm ready to throw in the towel on that one and change the "definition" to be: "Verification that the candidate source tree runs 'make world' to completion using only binaries/libraries, etc. from 2.1 OR bootstrapped from the candidate itself as a portion of its own procedures."
