Pleeeeze folks.  Don't post _and_ mail stuff of this kind!  The
mailing list freebsd-current@freebsd.org is the right place for this
questions (and you have sent it as mail there).  The Usenet news
system is way too slow for these short-time questions that pop up when
building -current systems.  Apart from this, if you decide to run a
-current system, i would personally expect you to know about things
like `make -k', and to try the best you can before going public.
Besides, while doing this way requires a few more thoughts of your own
instead of relying on others, it will certainly help you much quicker.
You'll get your system up & running again even before your question
would have spread around the world in the mailing lists, let alone the
slow Usenet.
