4 -> 5 Problem

[othermark]

I've just completed my 3rd 5.0 -> 5-current upgrade over nfs, and it always
sig 12's on me.  however, if I cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/<KERNEL> and 'make
install' from there it works fine.  Good workaround for this particular
problem.

I have also gotten an error regarding this line in Makefile.inc1 for early
versions of 5.x

743 .if (!defined(NO_RESCUE) || \
744     defined(RELEASEDIR)) && \
745     (${TARGET_ARCH} != ${MACHINE_ARCH} || ${BOOTSTRAPPING} < 501101)
746 _crunchide= usr.sbin/crunch/crunchide
747 .endif

where make complains that ${BOOTSTRAPPING} < 501101 is invalid, because it
thinks it's a string comparison..

Changing it to != for a quick hack works for upgrading 5.0.

this cracked me up.
