Further investigation (after an idea hit me just as I laid down to
sleep) reveals:
* a machine/ symlink is created in a beforedepend step
* no world -> no beforedepend -> no machine/ symlink -> problem
It happens in the specific case of build loader stand-alone from a
fresh source (no /usr/obj tree). One needs to do that if they want
to jump from 3.1-RELEASE to -current. Mike says we do not support
that (anything but latest -stable to -current). I think that just
happens to be a particular instance of the problem, and we'd better
deal with it.
