The issue with upgrades is that the dtrace_tools can't be built on 6.x systems during the bootstrap stage because 6.x doesn't have libelf. It may be that you need to bootstrap libelf differently than you are currently doing now. I can reproduce this easily on 6.3-RELEASE box. I would ask ru@ how best to handle this case. -- John Baldwin
