Hello OpenBSD Team,

I recently performed a fresh installation of OpenBSD 7.6. After the system booted, I noticed the kernel relinking process (relink) failed with the following error in /usr/share/relink/kernel/GENERIC.MP/relink.log:

(SHA256) /bsd: OK
LD="ld" sh makegap.sh 0xcccccccc gapdummy.o
sh: makegap.sh: No such file or directory
*** Error 1 in /usr/share/relink/kernel/GENERIC.MP (Makefile:2229 'newbsd')
This indicates that makegap.sh could not be found. I verified that /usr/libexec/reorder_kernel/makegap.sh does not exist on my system. Everything else installed without issues, and all default sets (base76.tgz, etc.) seemed to extract normally during installation.

Here are the steps/observations:

Fresh installation of OpenBSD 7.6 (amd64).
After first reboot, relink failed with the error shown above.
Attempting a manual relink or re-executing /usr/libexec/reorder_kernel.sh -r also fails due to makegap.sh missing. I confirmed /usr is mounted read-write and that other typical files are present, but makegap.sh is not found in /usr/libexec/reorder_kernel/ or anywhere else on the system. If you have any suggestions or if this is known to be a distribution or set extraction issue, please let me know. I’m open to providing logs, setup details, or reinstallation steps as needed.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best Regards,
Ricardo Albarracin B.
