The issue with upgrades is that the dtrace_tools can't be built on 6.x systems 
during the bootstrap stage because 6.x doesn't have libelf.  It may be that 
you need to bootstrap libelf differently than you are currently doing now.  I 
can reproduce this easily on 6.3-RELEASE box.  I would ask ru@ how best to 
handle this case.
