Are you sure this is the case? Further investigation (after an idea hit me just as I laid down to sleep) reveals: * a machine/ symlink is created in a beforedepend step * no world -> no beforedepend -> no machine/ symlink -> problem It happens in the specific case of build loader stand-alone from a fresh source (no /usr/obj tree). One needs to do that if they want to jump from 3.1-RELEASE to -current. Mike says we do not support that (anything but latest -stable to -current). I think that just happens to be a particular instance of the problem, and we'd better deal with it. -- Daniel C.
