It's a not a good idea to use profanity in a language in which one
lacks native proficiency.  "Fucking" is used as a general intensifier
only among people of the lowest cultural level.

Yeah, yeah.

This is an example of what I meant in that post on building -current
that got forwarded here from tech@.   The right people won't read
it.

Oh, dear.  Could some lines be missing here?  Lines like:
# cd /usr/obj && rm -rf *
and
# cd /usr/src ; find . -type l -name "obj" -exec rm {} \;
and
# cd /usr/src && make cleandir && make obj

Offhand, I'd say you've managed to hose your /usr/src tree and a
bunch of other stuff too.

Hmmm.  "make obj"  and so on, see above.

At this point, I would say things are so grimly broken that a
Microsoft-style reinstall might actually be indicated.

OK, I'm ornery enough to try upgrading from 3.1-stable to 3.1-current,
right now.  I will do nothing except those things in the minifaq,
(http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade-minifaq.html), the file
/usr/src/Makefile, and maybe a man page or two.  I will run script,
I think, just for laughs.

I'll report back in about six hours with the results.  I'll bet
it works.
