Hello all. 
While building 7.0-RC1 i've discovered that the loader file is broken in my 
box and i am unable to boot using it. I've already hit this problem 2 
months ago. After playing a bit i've found the way on how to reproduce it 
easily:

~# cd /usr/src/sys/boot/i386
/usr/src/sys/boot/i386# make btx libi386 loader
...snipped...
strip -R .comment -R .note loader.bin
btxld -v -f aout -e 0x200000 -o 
loader -l /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/../btx/btxldr/btxldr  -b /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/../btx/btx/btx 
loader.bin
kernel: ver=1.01 size=7b0 load=9000 entry=9010 map=16M pgctl=0:23
client: fmt=elf size=283b0 text=22038 data=4248 bss=60b8 entry=0
output: fmt=aout size=2b000 text=1000 data=29000 org=200000 entry=200000
cat /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/../../common/help.common /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/help.i386 | 
awk -f /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/../../common/merge_help.awk > 
loader.help

This loader is totally diffrent from the original:

# ls -la /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader -rw-r--r--  1 root  
wheel  176128 Feb 2 15:24 /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader

# ls -al /boot/loader -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  229376 Jan 29 
18:17 /boot/loader

# uname -a

root_at_cassini:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

I am not using any compiler flags in make.conf
