Take the reboot out of the equation and keep  it simple:
su to root
mkdir /usr/testdir
cd /usr/src
env -i make buildworld
env -i make installworld DESTDIR=/usr/testdir

Kernel has nothing to do with installworld target.

Taking the reboot out of the equation with the normal process doesn't make a difference however using env -i doe thus it must be a setting. Can I safely rm /ust/testdir without anything breaking now?

These things are for cvsup utility setup and they are not invoked to point
on options responsible for specific system building. Try to add the
following lines to /etc/make.conf:
CFLAGS= -O -pipe
NO_FORTRAN=     true
NO_OBJC=        true
NO_X=           true
NO_GAMES=        true
NO_PROFILE=      true

and re-make buildworld, then make installworld.

When I run cvsup it uses a specific supfile anyway that has much the same settings, I think the ones in make.conf are there for one of my nightly port updating scripts. Adding the options you have mentioned to make.conf however made no difference to the installworld error.

Thus I started playing I took out the following which make it work:

#PERL_VERSION=5.8.9
#BATCH=YES
#CRYPT_DES=0
#WITHOUT_ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=YES

Take your pick as to which one it was but I thought I'd post back so anyone else having the problem can look into it. Its a bit odd that moving make.conf aside didn't work though so there must be some other stuff in make.conf that is also required to prevent the problem..

Thanks for all the help folks! Now on to the ports...
