The folowing reply to this mail was caught by the spam filer. (I am the

BTW: I tried to build -current for hp700 multiple times during the last
days and it fails in the same way (linking libhx509) for me too.

I've tried to build seven times on two different machines=2C and it
fails for me every time=2C often in a different place=2C and with
different exact causes.=A0 Two times it caused the first machine to
hang hard (without a usable backtrace)=2C once because a .mk file was
corrupted during the process somehow=2C and four times because of
problems with object code that wasn't generated correctly.=A0 I've
included some samples below.

Both machines are running 5.1_STABLE/i386=2C but are of quite different
vintage and capabilities.=A0 Neither had any problem compiling
5.1_STABLE/i386 as a comparative test.=A0 I tried both without any -j
settings=2C in case that was contributing somehow=2C but that didn't
help. Both are able to make tools fine=2C and can build a GENERIC kernel
successfully afterward=2C but make distribution always fails.

If someone can make the appropriate binaries available to me=2C I can
test with them later this week=2C but otherwise=2C I'm stuck.
