hmm...i think what i did was option number 4, aka

* build -current make (with 1.2 toolchain) and then start installing
  mk.* stuff, and other stuff...

i just sat and planned it out.  i didn't wanna compile myself into a
corner...

i remade make and config, then built my new kernel, and then continued
on in much the same manner you did.  i was expecting problems (since
there had been so much discussion on this list) but didn't have any...

weird...
