Dumb question:  Did this ever get fixed in the repository?

Reason I'm asking is that I just finished a cvsup to update my local 
respository, did a cvs update of my RELENG_4 sources from that 
repository, then a buildworld, buildkernel, reboot, installworld, and 
ran into this same problem (can't install libsdbm.a because it relies 
on chmod).

Since this thread came up over a month ago, I'd be perfectly happy to
find out it has indeed been fixed, and that I somehow bungled the cvs
operations.  I can't find any history for src/Makefile.inc1 that would
imply adoption of the workaround patch, and I don't understand the perl
build process enough to know where to look in there.  In this case, a
whack of the clue-stick would be much appreciated.

(The workaround still works, however.)

Thanks!

Bruce.
