A good plan is to include the actual diagnostic, together with some
context, if you run into a problem.  For instance:

| /usr/obj/elf/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/../btx/btx/btx -l boot2.ldr  -o
| boot2.ld -P 1 boot2.bin
| kernel: ver=0.87 size=6d0 load=9000 entry=9010 map=16M pgctl=1:1
| client: fmt=bin size=143c text=0 data=0 bss=0 entry=0
| output: fmt=bin size=1d0c text=200 data=1b0c org=0 entry=0
| 244 bytes available
| dd if=boot2.ld of=boot2 obs=7680 conv=osync 2>/dev/null
| ===> sys/boot/i386/libi386
| make: don't know how to make machine/ansi.h. Stop
| *** Error code 2
| 
| Stop.

That way, if it's not a known problem, but some form of pilot error,
you may get some useful help anyway.
