Hello Don!

Thank you for some good help.

My make.conf only had some use.perl stuff.
I added your flags.

Also I've revised my sequence:

cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile \

&& cd /usr/obj \
&& chflags -R noschg * \
&& rm -rf * \

&& cd /usr/src ; make clean \
&& make buildworld \
&& make buildkernel KERNCONF=NINJA \
&& make installkernel KERNCONF=NINJA \
&& make installworld \
&& mergemaster \

And am now ready to give it another go :)

All the best,
Vaaf
