Started the stuff (sys-call related file regeneration),

# cd /usr/src/sys/kern
# make sysent

cd /usr/src/sys/kern && make -f Makefile.misc sysent
mv -f /usr/src/sys/kern/init_sysent.c /usr/src/sys/kern/init_sysent.c.bak
mv -f /usr/src/sys/kern/syscalls.c /usr/src/sys/kern/syscalls.c.bak
mv -f /usr/src/sys/kern/../sys/syscall.h /usr/src/sys/kern/../sys/syscall.h.bak
mv -f /usr/src/sys/kern/../sys/syscall-hide.h /usr/src/sys/kern/../sys/syscall-hide.h.bak
mv -f /usr/src/sys/kern/../sys/syscall.mk /usr/src/sys/kern/../sys/syscall.mk.bak
mv -f /usr/src/sys/kern/../sys/sysproto.h /usr/src/sys/kern/../sys/sysproto.h.bak
mv -f /usr/src/sys/kern/../sys/sysunion.h /usr/src/sys/kern/../sys/sysunion.h.bak
cd /usr/src/sys/kern && sh makesyscalls.sh syscalls.master

# pwd
/usr/src/sys/kern

In the next batch run (in approx 15 min.) for
buildworld+buildkernel, the build will start.

Given the current build time of 65+ minutes, your tests should
run in about 75 minutes.

Will keep you posted.


thanks
