This is not a fix, this is to get me through the installworld. As I've not seen any mention of this the past 6 months it must be something on my system that makes things go bad, but I have no idea what.

They are being built, and installed:

{e}nick_at_fimkjecurrent:/usr/src/stand/i386/btx % find / -name btxld -ls
1908308       48 -r-xr-xr-x    1 root                             wheel                               22988 Jan 27 23:37 /usr/sbin/btxld

I guess the difference in file size is due to it being stripped during install?
