OK, sounds good.  Seems to me this is something that might deserve a
mention in UPDATING.  Something like:

	During a source upgrade of a 4-STABLE machine to -CURRENT, the
	installkernel step will attempt to execute a non-existent kldxref
	executable.  (kldxref exists in -CURRENT, but not in 4-STABLE.)
	This error is non-fatal and can be ignored.

Cheers,

Bruce.
