Do the static binaries work?  If so, then you probably managed to
create a bogus /usr/libexec/ld.so.  See below.

Does your kernel config include "options COMPAT_10"?  You MUST use a
kernel with COMPAT_10 at least until you've successfully updated your
binaries.

>(cd /usr/src/include; make && make install)
>(cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/ld; make && make install)

I think you want to build ld BEFORE you install the new headers.

The first time you build lex, you have to copy initscan.c to scan.c
(obj/scan.c if you use obj dirs), because the older version of flex
that came with 1.0 can't handle the newer flex's scan.l.

The missing fmt.c was a bug that has since been fixed.
