nothing explicit has been put in UPDATING. Does one have to be careful about the
   initial build process? eg is it as simple as one line in /etc/mk.conf and away
   she goes? would build -E be unworkable or ok?


i don't use -E so i don't know (or care :-).  i wouldn't use it to -D /,
but just setting USE_TOOLS_TOOLCHAIN=no should get you a build that works
(not "distribution" or anything that check's the sets lists..yet.)
