I reloaded the system from a recent -current snapshot. I have put
CPUFLAGS = -mv8 -mtune=supersparc in my mk.conf, which did the right
thing while building a kernel and sh. I have just touched off a complete
build, and I'll check for errors when I wake up.

The errors most frequently happened when building GCC during the tools
phase of the build.
