I have a 4.1-R machine which I'm trying to get upgraded. I tried applying the 4.1upgrade kit, but it wouldn't apply, and when I did a manual install, it broke the package system entirely, as the newer pkg_* binaries require a library I don't have. This means I now have no working ports tree. I also don't have the disk for a buildworld. To make matters worse, the machine is in a remote location. I do have a set of 4.1 CDs and I can set up my own FTP, I'd just rather not have to send that much over the wire, as the connection won't be fast. If I could just compile the pkg_* binaries, I can transfer them. The question is, how do I compile a binaries as if I'd compiled it on a specific version of FreeBSD? I have a 4.6p2 machine that I can build with, but stuff built on it doesn't seem to work reliably on the 4.1-R machine.
