Hmmh. I wonder why I had the problem. As said, it was on AMD 64bit,
FreeBSD-8-STABLE a few weeks ago, and I compiled 4.1.8.

I used the gcc from the base system and did not have any make.conf
entries. It was a "standard base" without any tweaks.

I still have one 8.2-STABLE box with a kernel built on Jan 31. It is
the identical twin of the box where I experienced the problem.

I just run a portsnap and will see what happens if I try to build the
newest VirtualBox. Takes a bit of time so may not come back until
tomorrow (East Australian Time, it's afternoon here now)
