I am very sorry about that.  Unfortunately I can't repost the exact error
because I didn't recored it and my only FreeBSD-2.2.6 box has since been
upgraded to 3.0-current.

I will however try to explain as best I can the error.  First there were
several errors concerning the  if {MACHINE_ARCH} = "i386" conditional
in the toplevel make file.  

in /usr/src
running: make -m buildworld
or
	make -m /usr/src/share/mk buildworld
both gave identical results.

Running: make -m buildworld MACHINE_ARCH="i386"
would build for a very short time (about 5 lines of output, sorry I can't
be more specific) until it hit a simaler error about BINFORMAT

Running the below command from /usr/src succesfuly built the 3.0-current
source tree from yesterday.

make -m buildworld MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout

This was all done on 2.2.6-stable from Sunday.

I am quite sure I typed the command exactly since I tried it about 30 
times.  But to be sure I would have to check my .bash_history and I'm
not at home right now.

If this is really important I can try to replicate it on another computer
but I would have to cvsup the 2.2.6-stable source tree, make world
then cvsup 3.0-current, and make world.  All with a 28.8 on a 486 133MHz.
If its important I will do it.

I hope I am being of a little help.
