Here is an update I would like to install before 5.2-release.
This fixes the problems that people will run into during
'make installworld' when doing a source-upgrade from
5.1-release or 5.1-security to (what will be) 5.2-release.
To test this, I first upgraded a system to 5.1-RELEASE-p11.
I then created a /usr/src-curr which was the current source
tree, and did a buildworld and buildkernel.
I then copied that OS to another set of partitions, booted
up into the copy, and tried the normal installkernel-reboot-
installworld sequence. The installation was hosed, due to
programs in /bin which reference files in a not-yet-existent
/libexec. Recovery is possible, but can be somewhat painful.
I booted back into a working system, and re-copied the
original set of partitions to the test partitions. I booted
into the test partitions, applied this update, and tried the
same installkernel-reboot-installworld sequence. This did
not run into any problems (as long as one follows the rest
of the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING).
I have brought this issue up on -current, but no one has
responded with a reason why the install for /libexec should
*not* be moved up. So, I think it should be moved up, now
that I've tested that it does seem to work OK.
As near as I can tell, the special check for libexec/rtld-elf
never did work, and in any case it will be unnecessary if we
unconditionally install all of libexec at that point.
