I had not altered any Makefile or added any options.  The output provided
was from Tuesday after having updated source via AnonCVS as discussed in
Section 5.3.3 & following Sections 5.3.4 for building & installing the
kernel, & Section 5.3.5 for building userland

Section 5.3.2 gave me the impression that -current systems could be brought
up to date simply by updating source followed by building.  From what you
are saying, this was incorrect.  I should always do a binary upgrade to the
latest snapshot first.  I was not aware of this.  Thanks for the
clarification.

Point made.
