The statfs structure has been updated with 64-bit fields to allow
accurate reporting of multi-terabyte filesystem sizes. You should
build and boot a new kernel BEFORE doing a `make world' as the new
kernel will know about binaries using the old statfs structure,
but an old kernel will not know about the new system calls that
support the new statfs structure. Running an old kernel after a
`make world' will cause programs such as `df' that do a statfs
system call to fail with a bad system call.

DO NOT make installworld after the buildworld w/o building and
installing a new kernel FIRST. You will be unable to build a
new kernel otherwise on a system with new binaries and an old
kernel.
