well, so far, kinda so good.

i was able to cvsup 5.5-RELENG, 6.1-STABLE, and 6.1-RELENG to my build box.  i 
did a test kernel on the 6.1-RELENG, and that went fine, pretty much as 
expected.  but the 5.5 will not build.  i get this error:

[root at hephastus /usr/5.5-RELENG/src]# make buildkernel KERNCONF=TYCHE

should building parts of 5.5 from a 6.1-buildserver be possible?  or should i 
install 5.5 on my buildserver, and compile 5.5 from there as well as the 
higher versions?

thanks,
