Will give it a shot and see what happens. So far buildworld isn't 
using CPU specific optimizations with the CPUTYPE?=pentium4 as 
documented so I have a feeling that will fix my problem. I actually 
started having problems after rebuilding world from this source a 
second time with (what I thought) were more optimized compiler 
settings. Obviously not if they cause it to break. :) My kernel is 
the same from when it was working from the original CVSUP and 
original buildworld so I think I'll be ok with that. I'll rebuild it 
to be safe anyway though. Thanks again for your help! :)
