No, unfortunately the output is long gone (lost in the subsequent attempt to install the 5.0-current snapshot). I'm planning on recreating the snapshot install failure (or getting it right this time and having the install work:-). If I still can't install the snapshot, I will resort to installing 4.4 and trying the upgrade again. I do remember that it was in the "make buildkernel" step that I had the problem (the make buildworld was successful). A compile failed due to what looked like it was using the wrong header files (from /usr/include/sys). If this should recur, I will save the output. Note that I may have used the old 4.4 kernel config file for this though. Next time I plan on using the GENERIC config file.
