Can anybody confirm that this still works? When I try to upgrade a 
FreeBSD 4.9 system to DragonFly 1.2 following the procedure outlined in 
this document, make buildworld fails in /usr/src/usr.bin/mklocale.
I would like to go this route to migrate some production servers that 
are currently running FBSD 4.11 to DragonFly, if possible.

Thanks!
