Please also see my reply to PR misc/32635 (attached).  The author
reported a (known) impossibility to make 5.0-CURRENT release on a
4.4-STABLE box, but was also worried about standard source upgrade.

Synopsis: 'make installworld' fails during update to -current

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: ru
State-Changed-When: Mon Dec 10 02:07:52 PST 2001
State-Changed-Why: 
Sorry, but we don't currently support building cross-branch releases.

This shouldn't be a problem for a normal (non-chrooted) upgrade, since
`installworld' makes copies of all utilities (and uses them) that are
needed during install.  This happens as the first step of `buildworld'
stage.  Also, if you have old 4.x binaries (linked against libc.so.4,
etc.), make sure to add COMPAT4X=TRUE to /etc/make.conf.

There's still a race exists when installing compat libraries, because
stale libraries (libc.so.4) are removed before their copies are moved
into /usr/lib/compat.  But this race is actually harmless, because
the only utils that are used during installation are chflags(1), rm(1)
and install(1), all of them are linked static (including install(1),
which is built in a BMAKEENV environment with -DNOSHARED during
`installworld').
