Short answer: -stable builds fine.

Long answer: It only builds fine if you don't use non-standard build
flags like SHARED=symlinks, which some people appear to be using since
they're reporting problems.  On a completely stock -stable system as
of yesterday, I can report:

>>> elf make world started on Sun Jun 10 12:28:33 PDT 2001
>>> elf make world completed on Sun Jun 10 13:23:54 PDT 2001
>>> Kernel build for WINSTON started on Sun Jun 10 13:23:54 PDT 2001
>>> Kernel build for WINSTON completed on Sun Jun 10 13:30:25 PDT 2001

So both the world and the kernel build just fine if you don't try to
do things your own way right now and if you have a stock -stable
source tree without local modifications.
