Subject basically says it all. "make buildkernel KERNEL=<whatever>" and
"make installkernel KERNEL=<whatever>" (or set KERNEL in /etc/make.conf or
the environment, where KERNEL is the name of the kernel to build (GENERIC,
etc)) are what you should always be using to build your kernels, unless
you know what you're doing.
This will automagically use the correct build tools for the job, and will
solve problems like the one a lot of people are seeing since the binutils
upgrade.
Summary of Officially Sanctioned Update Procedure:
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
shutdown (drop into single-user mode)
make installworld
mergemaster
reboot
Depart from the above procedure at your own risk. Thankyou :-)
Kris
