Sparc Problems Revisited

[Kit Halsted <kit_(_at_)_kithalsted_(_dot_)_com>]

So, death & chaos have backed off far enough to give me a chance to 
try to get my SPARCstation 4 working properly.

Background:

I FUBARed a source upgrade & ended up with something claiming to be 
3.1 that wouldn't compile. I untarred comp31.tgz (-xzvpf), no luck. 
Wiped & re-fetched source. (U)pgraded from floppy31, no luck. 
(U)pgraded back to 3.0 from floppy30. The system appeared to be 
normal again. (U)pgraded to 3.1 via floppy again. Randomly installed 
joe from ports, the compiler works. I upgraded /etc/ & /var by hand, 
and...

&@$*(&^$%!

I'm back to the error that made me think I'd FUBARed the source 
upgrade. After verifying that I had a working compiler, I went to 
build a new kernel for netatalk. I did the following:

-----
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/conf
cp GENERIC ATALK
	(Edit ATALK by adding the following at the end of the file:
	# Enable AppleTalk
	option  NETATALK)
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/ATALK
make clean
make depend
make

Make runs for a while, then dies like this:

Hmmm... Apache patch dies as well. After "make -f 
Makefile.bsd-wrapper", I get this:

So I've overwritten lots of stuff with the (U)pgrades & gone through 
/etc, /var, & /root by hand. What's left to cause these problems? Is 
it time to back up $HOME & /var/www/htdocs & reformat?

Thanks,
