Hi,

I just unpacked the ksrc09 distrib for building a new kernel.  The other
source appeared to be for the unix commands etc.  Do you think this might
be the problem?

Also, is there any chance that our config might be broken?  This machine
was upgraded from 0.8 to 0.9 by persons other than myself---who knows what
happened.  Is config changed during the update, and might it have been
ommited?  For instance, the subr_mcount.o that it first complains about
is meant to be part of some profiling option that I have *not* selected.
In fact, I see in the subr_mcount.c source that it is broken for i386!
Unpacking ksrc09 created /sys/usr.sbin with most of the bits for a new
config in it, except config.c.

Any ideas.  I all else fails I'll try starting from scratch again.  For
now, we remain with a 4 pty kernel.

Cheers

Gavin
