freebsd stable - Dec 2010 - HELP! /usr/bin/as core dump after 'make world' from RELENG_6 to RELENG_7

Hi,

I made world from RELENG_6 to RELENG_7 on my FreeBSD/i386 box.

make buildworld ... ok
make buildkernel ... ok
make installkernel ... maybe ok
reboot -- -s ... ok
mergemaster -p ... ok
make installworld ... ok
mergemaster ... ok
reboot ... ok

And then I did

make delete-old BATCH_DELETE_OLD_FILES=1
make delete-old-libs BATCH_DELETE_OLD_FILES=1

to update all other packages using "portmaster -a".

After all, "portmaster -a" gets a 'cannot compile' error. I
found as.core
in the WRKDIR and 'signal 11' in dmesg.

I tried "gdb /usr/bin/as as.core" and got gdb.core file ...


Is there any way to recover from this terrible stuation?


BTW, I wonder why. Because a few days ago, I successfully updated my
another FreeBSD/pc98 box from older 6.2-STABLE to 7.4-PRERELEASE and then
8.1-PRERELEASE with the same way.

Thanks in advance.

The primary way to recover from a problem with an upgrade is to restore your
system from the backups that everyone should be taking.

If you deleted old libraries, then you've removed the shared libraries older
6.x binaries from ports want.  You can probably fix this by installing
/usr/ports/misc/compat6x; however, it is better to reinstall all of your
installed ports in order to relink against the new 7.x system libraries.
