Just comment out the IGNORE in the port Makefile.

 And btw it seems you need 9-stable or head too for the Linux pipe2
syscall. (r234352 for head or r248532 for stable/9, I haven't tried
if the latter can be applied to 9.1 as is too.)

 To rebuild just linux.ko after copying the header (instead of doing
a full buildkernel/installkernel) do:

	cd /sys/modules/linux
	make x86  (not needed on latest head, thanx eadler fox fixing)
	make DEBUG_FLAGS=-g
	make install DEBUG_FLAGS=-g

and then reload linux.ko (or reboot.)

 HTH, :)
