This isn't something that just cropped up either. I finally managed to do an aout-to-elf and am running on a system that is maybe a day old but am still having this problem. I attributed my earlier experiences to a somewhat munged aout env trying to compile a newish SUP of current. 'touch *.o' in the kernel build directory and 'make' should relink the kernel without recompiling any .o files. (And does, under stable) > On Thu, 15 Oct 1998, Matthew N.
