You will need an intermediate step via 10.3 -- there is a problem
compiling 11.0 on earlier than 10.3 release.

This is quite an unusual circumstance -- although the requirement is
that you should be able to upgrade to (X+1).0 from the last X.Y, most of
the time in the past you could upgrade from pretty much any FreeBSD to
the latest.

Even if you use freebsd-update, you will need to go via an intermediate
10.3-RELEASE step.  However, this is for different reasons -- there were
changes to freebsd-update itself, which are in 10.3 and are needed to
get to 11.0.

	Cheers,
