Ouch.  The machine I'm doing the 1.4.1 builds on is a 5000/240.  It's in
the middle of a "make build" now, when it finishes I'll reboot it a few
times and see what happens.

The kernel in the snapshot is an ECOFF kernel, which is why you're
seeing the ELF symbol table message.  The rest I'm not sure of at the
moment...
