| If you still have the obj tree from the problem build, there are two things
| you can do:
| 
| 1. make STRIP= installworld

Thank you -- that's good to know, for the future.

For now, I updated again and using my saved "four cc tools kit"
rebuilt the world and kernel.  After another reboot everything was
fine -- I can use the new `cc' all right now.

| or
| 
| 2. Delete the obj tree before building anything new.

| Yes, but an obj tree from a broken build will cause problems.

That's a bit strange:

1. What in it could cause problems?  Doesn't `buildworld' clean out
   everything in the `obj' tree, other than the "build counter"?

2. I did my rebuild (after the message I sent out this morning),
   without touching `obj' by hand -- and everything came out all
   right.

(Just wondering)

Thank you,
