Hey, I just happened to notice your reply in the freebsd-questions
archive, since you didn't cc me.  I don't subscribe to the list.

Anyway...

I was recompiling with a customed copy of the GENERIC file (named
something else), but when it failed I tried the original GENERIC for
comparison.  It fails also, thus my message.

And no, I haven't cvsup'ed at all - this is after an install of 4.1 from
the cd, or over ftp (can't remember which at the moment).  Since then I've
only installed packages and ports...

Anyway, I'm trying make buildworld at the moment just to see.  It
shouldn't be necessary on a virgin system, but what else can I try?
