If you fix what caused the build to break and want to find any other
failure points there is little point in restarting the build from zero.

I would still like to get FreeBSD on that server but with the latest
improvements to ZFS.  The release version is not going to do that for
me and the only way that I can get up-to-date binaries is to build a
new world and kernel.

I'll give it another days' try and if that still fails Solaris will stay
on the server.

This BTW is not my first time building world on FreeBSD.  I followed
STABLE from 3.4 through the end of RELENG_4 and I never had such problems
with a simple compile.
