The new sources made a difference, a clean 'upgrade' build runs to 
completion after a small tweak to image.subr.  However, even though the 
build completes OK, the return code from mkstaboot is 1.

Also, subsequent (not-clean) builds starting from the 'flash' and 
'kernel' steps are exiting prematurely:

mkstaboot: finished step 'distrib'
./mkstaboot: exiting prematurely
error code 1 from mkstaboot

I'm checking this from the command line to rule out weirdness from the 
nightly build script.
