I've just discovered that "make buildworld" has a mandatory dependency on kbdcontrol (see https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/Makefile.inc1?annotate=354138#l2207 ) but, if WITHOUT_LEGACY_CONSOLE is defined then kbdcontrol isn't built (https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.sbin/Makefile?annotate=352949#l162 ) and the installed version will be deleted by "make delete-old": https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/tools/build/mk/OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc?annotate=353358#l4520
This seems undesirable... The "make buildworld" failure doesn't make the cause obvious - it just reports "*** Error code 1" in bootstrap-tools. Having trace the failure, I now see ".ERROR_TARGET='_bootstrap-tools-link-kbdcontrol'" but that was only obvious in hindsight. -- Peter Jeremy
