Hmmm...the i386 ports cluster machines *do* run 5-CURRENT kernels
(because they need to make packages for both 4-STABLE and 5-CURRENT).  
But when they're building 4-STABLE packages, they run a 4-STABLE 
userland.  I thought they were tweaked to lie about what OS version 
they were really running.

It looks odd, but I don't *think* it should bother anything.

This may be dependent on what mechanism a package uses to figure out
the OS version.  I checked a package for one of my own ports (net/
pchar) and it thought it had built on 4.7, which is what it should
think.

Bruce.
