I thought that crunchgen dealt with the .o's that were created in the
buildworld process. It looks like it rebuilds them itself in a
whacked out way to make the whole thing work.
Still, I don't think it is too onerous a requirement that a buildworld
have happened first.
The other reason to encourage it strongly is that there are too many
binary incompatibilities with the kernel interface for some programs,
even in -stable, so we'd want to encourage people to build and install
both at the same time. I'd imagine that the same sort of argument
would apply for picobsd since you don't want that to be cross
threaded. :-). But maybe I'm being overly paranoid here. Maybe I've
answered one too many questions that boil down to "just rebuild the
world and stop arguing with me, things will start to work".
