rather than shutdown my failed upgrade I tried to go to the GNU directory make
clean make depend and rebuild (that failed on some ?blabla?77somthing lib (the
77 makes me think FORTRAN). I gave up on making in GNU and went to src made
clean, buildworld and installworld and IT WORKS! something probably in 
-DNOFORTRAN (? -DNOGAMES???) biffed some (one) of these libs.
