In this case, I actually assume that the DHCP server will be providing
the host name and specifically *ignore* the user-provide hostname
field since our dhcp client integration is still a bit green and
you'll just override the DHCP server assignment for the hostname with
the user-defined one if it's written to rc.conf.

Huh?

Urk, can't reproduce it. I need a reproducible sequence of operations
before we'll have any hope of tackling this one.

Same here.

I guess we need to build our own XF86 distribution with the a.out
libraries built or we need to somehow stuff those into a compat dist.
Ugh, either option is pretty ugly. :)
