Daring to challenge the will of the almighty Leviam00se, Markolf Gudjons (markolf@lfbs.rwth-aachen.de) had the courage to say:
: Hi,

: I just ftp'ed the 1.1.5.1 kernel release and tried to build it on my 1.1
: Release system. The linker bombs out in exception.o with a half dozen 
: undefined symbols (_biomask, etc.).

: Do I need anything else to build the kernel? I only got the sys.?? package.

: Thanks.


The 'config' command in 1.1 won't work with the kernel sources from 1.1.5(.1).
You need to get the 1.1.5(.1) 'config.' Apparently, it now generates a file
called config.c, which you need to link the kernel correctly. The simplest
way to get it would be to snarf the sources for it out of the 
FreeBSD-current tree and compile it, then use it to config your new kernel.

Hope this helps.
