Yes. I can cvsup or "make update" to any valid release. I can verify this
by, as I mentioned, wiping out /usr/src and then running cvsup.

Yes. Build still fails.
I can
make buildkernel
make installkernel
and reboot into 5.4, 5.5, 6.0, 6.1 or 6.2
The errors occur only when I use
make buildworld
There is this note in /usr/src/UPDATING, which I am currently tracking as the
root of my problems. However it is a bit of a stretch since I built this
system AFTER 7/2004 ... still ... it may be the root ... But then that
doesn't explain why the kernel installs ... UGH! I'm weary ...
20040728:
System compiler has been upgraded to GCC 3.4.2-pre. As with any major
compiler upgrade, there are several issues to be aware of. GCC 3.4.x
has broken C++ ABI compatibility with previous releases yet again
and users will have to rebuild all their C++ programs with the new
compiler. A new unit-at-a-time optimization mode, which is default
in this compiler release, is more aggressive in removing unused
static symbols. This is the likely cause of 'make buildworld'
breakages with non-default CFLAGS where optimization level is set
to -O2 or higher.
With the upgrade of the system compiler, the kernel has been upgraded
to match the new system compiler. This makes it impossible to build
a new kernel with the old compiler. Upgrade your system via
make buildworld and make kernel (see below) to fix this problem.
Thanks for taking a look.
