My interpretation of what Alexander wrote is this:
On RELENG_8, the WITH_CTF=1 parameter must be specified manually on the
command-line during the buildworld/installworld and
buildkernel/installkernel phases, and cannot be put into /etc/src.conf
or /etc/make.conf. E.g.:
make buildworld WITH_CTF=1
make buildkernel WITH_CTF=1
make installkernel WITH_CTF=1
make installworld WITH_CTF=1
I'm sure one (or more) of these is superfluous, but someone needs to
state up front what exactly the proper procedure is.
The "makeoptions WITH_CTF=1" kernel configuration option doesn't appear
to work on RELENG_8, and I can confirm that WITH_CTF=true in
/etc/src.conf might do "something" but it doesn't fix the problem
reported originally.
Someone should also probably update the Wiki to reflect what does work
properly on RELENG_8 and have a separate section for CURRENT/9.
