I've run across a kernel build problem with 1.2-very-current on an i386.
I supped earlier this evening (around midnight EST), and have re-built
and re-installed all of userland (save manpages and profiled libs).

Here's what I get when I try and build a kernel:

cc -x assembler-with-cpp -traditional-cpp -D_LOCORE -I. -I../../../../arch -I../../../.. -nostdinc -DSWAPPAGER -DVNODEPAGER -DDEVPAGER -DEXEC_AOUT -DEXEC_SCRIPT -DI486_CPU -DDUMMY_NOPS -DCOMPAT_12 -DCOMPAT_43 -DFFS -DNFS -DKERNFS -DFIFO -DINET -DMAXUSERS=32 -D_KERNEL  -Di386 -c ../../../../arch/i386/i386/locore.s
../../../../arch/i386/i386/locore.s: Assembler messages:
../../../../arch/i386/i386/locore.s:419: Error: Relocation error. Absolute 0 assumed.

Any ideas?  Anyone else see this? (config file at end of message...)
