I think if you really loaded a 3.5 tree on top, you will need to
follow the cvsup upgrade path for 3.5 to 4.1 in /usr/src/UPDATING.
You could also upgrade the binaries to 4.1-R and then rebuild userland
and the kernel. There were such massive changes to /etc and all of the
/binutils. I thought my "i" key was going to wear out running
mergemaster :).
