I don't get to work on this often, so I mis-remembered just what
failed.  It was 'disklabel' while building tools.  In brief, I update
all sources to -current, update sys/arch to "ppcoea-renovation" and
then build.

The gory details are at:

(Caution:  long lines!)

This happens building both macppc and prep.

As I mentioned before, if I update only sys/arch/[a-oq-z]*ppc,
sys/arch/powerpc, sys/arch/bebox, sys/arch/prep to the "ppcoea-
renovation" tag, leaving sys/arch/pmppc at "-current" so it sticks
around, building everything I'm interested in (short of "release"
on macppc) works, but macppc GENERIC kernel is having problems at
runtime as described previously.

I went looking for these before but couldn't find anyone admitting
they had any available until seeing this link.  I'll have to see if
they have the versions for B&W G3 and iMac, since those are the
machines I own (but don't have handy).  The G4 is not mine, I just
have it to play with for now, so I can't really justify spending my
own money on it.
