Daniel,

Thanks for your suggestions, but I'm afraid they're not particularily 
apropos to my problem.  I noted the change over to gcc3.x for OBSD/i386, 
however, I don't think that the changeover is either relevant or 
pertinent to the difficulty I am having with trying to build a profile 
kernel.  I have been able to build a GENERIC -current non-profile kernel 
with my month-old (i.e. gcc2.9x-based) system from the -current CVS 
files.  So, I don't think it's a gcc-version problem.  Anyway, I've 
tried to make a profile kernel in the past (many months ago) and the 
same problem showed up.

As far as staying current, at least on the CVS side, I have the most 
current version of the CVS tree (thanks to daily cvsyncs).  So, I don't 
think the problem lies there.  And the upgrade-minifaq does not address 
making a profile kernel.

Thanks for your suggestions, but I'm still left with the problem of not 
being able to compile a profile kernel.
