I think it was a sensible and appropriate step, and that it should have
worked.

Well maybe I was just lucky, but no such problem bit when I rebuilt and
reinstalled RELENG_4_5 without a hitch, but I got exactly the same results
you did with RELENG_4_6.

It' a bit unsettling because
 1) Presumably the build can be done successfully in some environments,
   and
 2) People are installing the CD set for this version with whatever this
   is, possibly lurking in it.

I had decided to update before installing 'qmail' the first 'real'
application on my FreeBSD 'project' box, but I'm not so confident at the
moment.

I also did 'make -DNOCLEAN buildworld' with the same result.

I was about to take two steps:
 1) enter the offending compilation line as a console entry and see what
happens (the same, I expect, unless there are additional needed symbols
defined in the Makefile), and

 2) I was going to look at the version of this file from RELENG_4_5 and
see if they differ.

If anyone has seen this and overcome it, or gotten past it by building in
4.5 to a later release level, that would be great to know.

From people who _started_ with a FreeBSD-4.6, can you successfully 'cvsup'
to RELENG_4_6 and 'make buildworld' successfully?

My system is a Cyrix/IBM 166 with small RAM and generous (I thought) swap
space.

The compiler (stock from RELENG_4_5) and system report:
"$ cc -v
 Using builtin specs.
 gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) [FreeBSD]
 $ uname -a
 FreeBSD chipmunk.telocity.com 4.5-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE-p6
 #3: Thu May 30 23:24:10 EDT 2002
 root@chipmunk.telocity.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/JMMCONFIG  i386"

What compiler version comes with 4.6? Could I install it in 4.5 system
without too much breakage, if it might be the problem?

Thanks for any suggestions.
