I'm working on it. I set up a "minimal" environment on a 2.1 machine and
chroot into it.

I starts out OK, but the list of required things in "minimal" is getting
rediculously long. The problem is in "proving" that I am using code
"bootstrapped" from the -current sources. I'm ready to throw in the towel
on that one and change the "definition" to be:

"Verification that the candidate source tree runs 'make world' to
completion using only binaries/libraries, etc. from 2.1 OR bootstrapped
from the candidate itself as a portion of its own procedures."
