deleted /usr/src and /usr/obj again
used vipw to change roots shell back to /bin/csh
logged out & back in
cvsupped and make buildworld worked fine (with the -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing btw,
I don't know if that's been implimented yet, I put it in make.conf)

possible clue: you mentioned -j
I had tried a -j4 , which was the first time I ever tried -j anything btw,
previously and it failed, but it didn't fail anywhere near the spot I showed.
After it failed I shrugged and thought "not surprising" and did a make clean
and make buildworld and got the failure in boot2 I originally posted about, and
continued to get the same failure no matter what I did over several complete
delete/checkout/build attempts even though I never used -j again.

Silly as it seems, the only common factor I see was that all those attempts,
spread over 3 or so days, took place in the same login session, the same
instance of bash, as the original make -j4 failure.

Either the initial failure screwed up the instance of bash and all I needed to
do was log out & in, or the use of bash vs csh is no good, or some change was
committed in the last few hours that fixed it, or -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing
works where -O doesn't.

The kernel just successfully built too while I was writing this.

I'll try to duplicate it just so it becomes a known repeatable thing instead of
a passing fluke that no one knows why it happened or if there is anything to be
aware of.

Thanks.
