Of course not. What I meant is that libraries are built and installed
into a _temporary_ location, and the rest of the world is linked with
them there. I think you somehow screwere your "buildworld" process,
and suggested you the steps to check that the libraries were properly
built and installed into a so-called ${WORLDTMP} location, in terms
of Makefile.inc1.

src/UPDATING says you should reboot(8) into single user mode, not
shutdown(8). Please follow the instructions very carefully.

By looking the the output of ">>> stage 4: building libraries" stage of
"buildworld".

As I said, I think you've screwed something up. Most likely, you just
typed "make" or "make all" instead of "make buildworld".
