This isn't a bug, it's a minor misfeature. You need to grap /usr/sbin/config
from FreeBSD-current and configure your kernel with it. Alternatively,
if you're in a rush, you can add the following line to the end of
/sys/compile/YOUR_KERNEL_NAME/swapkernel.c:
void setconf() {} ;
setconf() is only used when confguring a generic kernel (with something
like 'config kernel swap generic'). If you configure your kernel this
way, config will use /sys/i386/i386/swapgeneric.c instead of creating
it's own swap device definition file (swapgernel.c). However, since
swapgeneric.c is never used in non-generic kernels, config needs to
create a dummy setconf() stub so that the linker won't barf, as it
did for you. :)
It's always a good idea to upgrade your copy of config when you see
things like this. This is actually something of a kludge, but it
saves you the trouble of having to define a compile time option to
make the reference to setconf() go away when you don't need it.
