 Yes.  I was slightly confused by the fact that the toolchain would
 normally be built by "make buildworld", I think, during a source
 upgrade.  I wasn't sure what "make buildkernel" does when it's run
 without a "make buildworld" having been run - in the normal (source)
 scenario there should be no need to build a new toolchain if userland
 hasn't changed.

 Right - which given the newness of freebsd-update means that's what
 everyone will be expecting to do.
