This is exactly right - I wanted to find out if the changes to -current would allow me to run BSD/OS 2.0 binaries, and so just built the kernel sources rather than all the utilities. I've since been tied up trying to get all the utilities to compile, but I imagine that the new config would solve this. Several others have experienced this problem as well, and I imagine that the root of their problem is the same. (And for the record, this is the first time I've tried to build -current. I've learned my lesson...) j.
