Dear Antonio,
I did solve this problem with the help of the email below. Note that
before I did it I re-CVSup-ed with RELENG_4_0_0_RELEASE, blowing away RELENG_4
which just didn't work. I started with 3.2-RELEASE, upgraded to RELENG_3 with
no problems, then went to RELENG_4_0_0_RELEASE. I followed the steps below
pretty thoroughly except for the OpenSSH stuff (which I didn't need).
A funny thing I noticed was that I had to do the ldconfig part everytime
before I ran the buildworld, or else it would "forget" about where the libc
stuff was. Other than that not too many problems except for the kernel FOO
upgrade part. What a headache. Does anyone have a document that notes changes
from the 3.x kernel syntax to the 4.x kernel syntax besides LINT. <lazy> LINT
doesn't point out the changes, it just has the syntax in it. </lazy>
A big thanks to bobb and Ralf for ending the suffering. I hope it works
for you too! Next step, 4.2-RELEASE.......
