Hi, Matt:

I'm certainly not an expert here, but it seems like
it's an awful long way from 4.6 to 4.10. 

Have you tried an intermediate update, say, 4.6 to 4.7
[or 4.8]?

So many changes occur over time; and by the time 4.10
came out, 4.6 was very old*; so it's entirely possible that
you might need to do a cvsup/buildworld routine to
something a little closer to your box's date prior to
attempting (and having any success) with 4.10.  You
might try changing the 'cvs tag' in your supfile to
RELENG_4_7 or RELENG_4_8 and going again....

*and probably past it's "EOL".  Whether or not, I'm sure
it'd be nice if it _would_ build, but it's possible that the
engineering team was under no compunction to test
a migration from 4.6 directly to 4.10 at the time 4.10 was
being tested for release, and therefore it wasn't (tested) ...
like I said, I'm no expert, but a 'stepping stone' approach
to the problem might work....
