I think you need to re-read the upgrade instructions. Unless I ma quite
confused, the correct order is:
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
cp sys/${MACHINE}/conf/GENERIC.hints /boot/device.hints
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
cd sys/boot ; make STRIP="" install
<reboot in single user>
/usr/src/etc/rc.d/preseedrandom
mergemaster -p
rm -rf /usr/include/g++
make installworld
mergemaster -i
<reboot>

You don't nuke the g++ headers until you have built both world and kernel
and built and installed the new loader. That my not be the problem, but
I am suspicious.
