    I have successfully built and installed a -stable world.   It took all
    day, but it worked :-)  Unfortunately, it did not clear up the problem.

    I still get this error however:

/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/sys/sys/types.h:50: global register variable follows a function definition
/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/sys/sys/types.h:50: warning: call-clobbered register used for global register variable

    It appears that this line in alpha/include/pcpu.h:

register struct pcpu *pcpup __asm__("$8");  

    Must occur before any inlines.  There are inlines #include'd long before
    pcpu.h is included.  The first I can find is in alpha/include/endian.h,
    which is included by sys/types.h.

    That's as far as I've gotten.
