RELENG_4 -> RELENG_4_9 sidegrade problem?

[Mike Harding]

I decided to drop back to 4.9 after running 4-STABLE for a while, and,
after doing that, I removed the gettext port, and then rebuilt all of
gnome and kde.  The weird thing is that samba-devel would not build -
it failed in different places with a signal 10.

Jan 23 20:07:09 netcom1 /kernel: pid 49412 (cc1), uid 0: exited on signal 10
Jan 23 20:11:48 netcom1 /kernel: pid 64708 (cc1), uid 0: exited on signal 10
Jan 23 20:19:19 netcom1 /kernel: pid 78970 (cc1), uid 0: exited on signal 10
Jan 23 20:23:42 netcom1 /kernel: pid 92596 (cc1), uid 0: exited on signal 10
Jan 23 20:38:05 netcom1 /kernel: pid 9992 (cc1), uid 0: exited on signal 10

This system has been stable for months, and after going back to
RELENG_4 samba built no problem.

Any problem with either

- 4.9 or
- "sidegrading" like this?

It's possible that there are some leftover files, of course, that
caused this, but I don't know what they would be.

I had signal 10 problems last year around June, and mouse problems
after that, but I think they were BIOS related and I haven't seen
either for months.

Anyone have any clues/ideas?

I am using the cursed VIA/AMD combo, which took a lot of BIOS tweaking
to get working well, but it seems stable once dialed in.
