excuse the naiveness of this post.

the kernel doesn't link properly.
Just today, (i don't know why) i decided to try to compile it with 2.8.1
and it seems to have worked.

I edited the makefile in /usr/src/sys/compile/K6233 (my compile dir)
and set CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc

i also edited the makefile in the "aic7xxx" dir to also point to
/usr/local/gcc

then the usual: 
  make clean && make depend && make -j24 all && make install
rebooted and everything seems fine except my nerves (worrying about a
panic of course.) :)

anyhow this is on -current as of last night (built with the standard gcc
of freebsd though 2.7.2.1 )

i think it's still using /usr/bin/ld though... anyhow i'm confused  and
wondering if anyone is interested in this.

if not, sorry for the noise,
-Alfred
