Thanks Kris, J.D.,

I found the same build problems on 6_0.

I've subscribed to -current and -stable as I want to better track these
issues...which brings me to my next question:

In production (at an ISP), what is the best to follow...RELENGX_X or
RELENG_X? I have 4.x, 5.x boxes in production, and this 6.x box is being
prepared for the same.

Tks :)

Steve
