I've seen the same thing, building an i586 build on a machine which the system libraries are built for i686. It seems some of the bootstrap tools ("install" is the one that kept biting me) are getting linked against the system libraries and then used in installworld. Perhaps it would be best, as the last thing in buildworld, to rebuild all of the bootstrap tools with the compiler and libraries for the target system. How is this handled in cross builds like alpha? I believe this has been discussed on -stable before, but I can't seem to find it in the archives and don't know if there was any resolution other than the workaround of installing the i586 build on the build system and buildworlding again.
