Maybe I am missing something obvious, but what if I'll build 4.x chroot on 5.x/6.x system, put 4.x sources into /usr/src and will try to build 5.x release from within that chroot. As far as I can see, only operations that use some devices (e.g. md(4) vs vn(4)) can lead to a problem, but this . Anyway, pretty soon we will know for sure - it is now rolling distribution tarballs here. -Maxim
