Yes. In the general case, you would "make build" twice to build the
system with the new compiler and tool-chain, but 1.4 -> 1.4.1 doesn't
materially change anything in that area.

"allsrc" does not include pkgsrc, security, nor xsrc.

/etc/supfiles/coll.list:

current release=pkgsrc host=sup.NetBSD.ORG hostbase=/ftp/pub
  base=/usr prefix=/usr delete use-rel-suffix
current release=xsrc host=sup.NetBSD.ORG hostbase=/ftp/pub
  base=/usr prefix=/usr delete use-rel-suffix
release release=allsrc host=sup.NetBSD.ORG hostbase=/ftp/pub
  base=/usr prefix=/usr delete use-rel-suffix
release release=security host=sup.NetBSD.ORG hostbase=/ftp/pub
  base=/usr prefix=/usr delete use-rel-suffix

(lines wrapped for clarity.)

/etc/supfiles/coll.what:

current release=pkgsrc base=/usr prefix=/usr use-rel-suffix
current release=xsrc base=/usr prefix=/usr use-rel-suffix
release release=allsrc base=/usr prefix=/usr use-rel-suffix
release release=security base=/usr prefix=/usr use-rel-suffix

If this is your first sup, it will take a _long_ time to run, but
other than that, you should have no problem. If you already have the
1.4 sources, on the other hand, you're possibly better off just
downloading the patches.

Just remember to update "config" and configure and build your kernel
first!
