Well, once I discarded my preconceptions and re-read the error
message, the problem is obvious:
In file included from
/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386/../../../sys/signal.h:236,
from
/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386/../../../sys/param.h:90,
from
/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386/aout_freebsd.c:29:
/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386/../../../sys/ucontext.h:34:
machine/ucontext.h: No such file or directory
We include the files directly from the source tree, but some of them
then go and include files from <machine/*>, which, of course, refers
to /usr/include/machine/*. Thus, some of the files are up-to-date,
and some are not. Unless you build world first.
[but you can't build world until you booted a new kernel, and you
can't boot a new kernel until you have a new loader, but you can't
build a new loader...]
On the gripping hand, this is boot/i386, but we cannot use a -I to
get the right machine/* includes because the path to them is
sys/.../include/*. There is some perverse and subtle irony to it.
:-)
If we are changing the upgrade procedure to "kernel then world", the
problem here is far greater than simply machine/ucontext.h.
