I'd be surprised ... considering I did a successful `make world' about a
month ago with no problems, and I've done many compilations (Apache,
MySQL, php, ssh) on this machine with no problems prior to this. Still,
it's a possibility, things do wear out/break/etc.

That's pretty much a last resort ... my goal is to fix this without
having to drive 3.5 hours to the location where it exists. If nothing
else works, I'll do that.

Well, that's good news, it means I've botched something. I think the
mistake is that I accidentally got a 3.X-STABLE tree over top the 4.X
tree and the version of perl from 3.X (whatever version that is) isn't
up to doing some of the chores that are required for a 4.X make world.
My plan of attack at this point is:
make -k buildworld
make installworld
make buildworld
If at that point I have no errors, I'm home free to rebuild a current
kernel and make installworld again.
If I'm still having trouble. I'm going to try cvsdowning to 4.0-STABLE
(which is what the machine was before this all started) and see if I can
get it working.
If that doesn't work and I can still get ssh access to the machine, I'll
get really desperate and try getting a 3.5.1 machine on here.
If that doesn't work, I'm driving 3.5 hours to do a clean installation
(please no)
If anyone has any better attack plans, I'm interested to hear them.
Thanks for all the help so far.
