I've never found a need to use these, so I really am uncertain how they would be used. But it seems as if they might come into play after a make buildworld but prior to a make installworld. I could be very wrong about that. But if you can track down how to actually use these targets I think it may remedy the problem. As far as how the problem came to exist I wouldn't know - but a small mistake somewhere in the process does indeed sound plausible. -Mike
