State-Changed-Why:
Is MKCTF=yes in -current still causing problems preventing
the shark (dnard) from booting? I haven't owned one for
many years (donated to another developer as a spare)
so I can't test myself.


I've tried to reproduce this issue in -current, and haven't been able to.

The shark kernels cross-built with the default MKCTF=yes
are bigger than MKCTF=no, but not excessively so:
