make installworld doesn't work

[Christian Baer]

Hello there dear readers!

A while back I tried to update from 8.0-RELEASE to RELENG_8_0. I got
this far:

- buildworld
- buildkernel
- installkernel
- reboot
- mergemaster -p

Then I started a make installworld and it broke here:

Obviously, just trying to install again won't do any good (this isn't
Windows), I'm just a little careful about breaking the system. It is
also possible that I broke this by playing with the compiler-options (I
added 'CFLAGS+= -mcpu=ultrasparc' in make.conf). Maybe that broke my
world. Strangely, it compiled without any error I could see, so I don't
see why installing should fail.

I removed alle additional compiler-flags from make.conf, erased the
entire contents of /usr/obj/ and tried to make the world again. Same
thing happened: The world built fine but refused to install. Updating
the sources didn't do any good either. Actually, the sources haven't
been updated since. I tried an Update a few minutes ago. The ports (and
maybe docs) got updated, nothing else. So I am guessing, this isn't a
know problem, or it probably would have been fixed by now.

Any ideas, anybody?
