The only difference between your effort on mine is I cvsup'ed 24 hours
later than you did. I have also been following -stable since they
started the massive changes on 7/7. I was one of the first people bit
by the bioscall.s thing and Warner added the bit about buildkernel.
Less than 15 minutes later, I was running a system based on O'Brien's
modified /binutils. Since I was one of the first, it was said kindly.
The kindness in the responses is developing an edge because of what
seems like 100's of people not paying attention or doing any research
and continue using the old way. There have been a lot of stuff changed
in /etc that mergemaster has to take care of. 

I have been fighting getting email that FreeBSD.org will buy for
several days on a new ISP and the cvs-committs are scattered over
three systems and two emailers. I don't know what changed but my 3
hour old cvsup worked. I always thought Murphy picked on me. I have
been doing the buildkernel religiously since 7/7 and perhaps, for a
change, he passed it around :).

I have 3 machines that I am using to follow stable's transition to
4.1. Only one goes down if there are problems. 

You won't see "as -v" = 2.10.0 unless you have done an installworld.
That is probably why you are getting the message.

Good luck,

Kent
