Only 3 days ago, I had difficulties upgradeing to 4.4-S from 4.0-RELEASE.  
Basically, here is what happened..

Cvsup'd 4-RELENG
Backed up my /etc dir
cd /usr/src
make buildworld - Appeared to be successful
make buildkernel - Succeeded.
installed the kernel
tried to make installworld but stopped, with the ELF thing complaining that 
that library wasn't recognizable...(trying to remember exactly but can't it 
seems)
Rebooted
Tried make installworld again... stopped when trying to install perl
tried a make -k installworld... got tons of errors

To make a long story short, only about half of the directories that needed 
compiling, were... or at least they weren't moved to the /usr/obj directory.

To get the make installworld to work properly, I had to go into the 
directories that weren't made and do a make all.  Once I manually did this 
make all in the directories that needed it, the make install world went off 
without a hitch.

here is a list of the dirs that I remember having to compile manually

/usr/src/sbin
/usr/src/gnu
/usr/src/usr.bin
/usr/src/usr.sbin
/usr/src/libexec
/usr/src/release

Like I said, once I did the make all in these directories, it seemed to 
properly move all the appropriate files into the /usr/obj directory for make 
installworld to work.  Somewhere along the way(while searching on dejanews 
for a fix), I performed an ldconfig /usr/src/lib/libc... not sure when I did 
this, and I am not sure if it even effected the results but eventually I did 
get 4.4-STABLE to make installworld successfully.

Hope this helps...

I thought the following had been fixed...

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=361779+0+current/freebsd-questions

but the backporting didn't work for me on a 4.0-R machine.  If I need to do
a third sanity check I will...but is anyone else out there still running
4.0-R and having a problem going to 4.4-S via source?
