For the first time, I had to installkernel AND installworld from sh... libldns and libucl both wanted to put .so symlinks somewhere. Fixed one with a WITHOUT_LDNS... the other proceeded from sh not from another shell. edited out the "wrong time " .error in the Makefile, but that should not be relevant... #tty results in (many other commands, slew of messages during port builds obscuring the process, etc...) <jemalloc>: Conf string ends with key # repeated sometimes none, most of the time one, in port builds many.
