Do you know how to get at the old one? Or know where there are instructions
on how to do so?

I've checked it. There's nothing there that I've seen that seems to

I build world and kernel about once a week. I've been getting this
error for a while, and thought it might go away if I gave it some time,
like other errors have done in the past. It hasn't.
