Error trying to upgrade to version 15 current.

Hello everyone.
Error trying to upgrade to version 15 current.
The elfcopy utility is indeed not in the system and cannot be found by searching. There was no such problem with previous upgrades. What should I do?
Code: 
make buildworld

Thread 'Topics about unsupported FreeBSD versions'

The FreeBSD Forums cater primarily to end-users and systems administrators. As such, the Forums focus almost exclusively on FreeBSD versions that are officially supported according to the official FreeBSD website. Since resources are scarce, the FreeBSD Forums strongly suggest that anyone asking questions on the forums run one of the officially supported versions (see the links at the end of this post), for which the installed user base is logically the broadest.

In terms of 'unsupported versions' we make the following distinction:

  1. FreeBSD versions that are...

What are you currently running? Does it have `elfcopy` anywhere?

You can try edit the top-level Makefile to not recurse into stand/
 
This is the current version and it has been built without problems before.
> uname -a
FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT main-n275179-64dcfa2593d4: Sun Feb 2 17:19:35 EET 2025

I don't have a copy of "elfcopy" anywhere. I don't understand how and why to edit the Makefile.

I built 15-current yesterday. No problems.

Chances are your make.conf or src.conf entries are responsible.

Probably your current version of freebsd matters and it is probably different from mine. My make.conf and src.conf are shown above and there have been no problems with them so far. I have updated my current version 15 many times before this quite successfully. Something has changed and now I have these problems. The question is what exactly has changed and how to deal with it?

That UPDATING entry T-Aoki pointed out is probably relevant, and your last update crosses that dateline.
 
Unfortunately, it didn't help. The result is the same.

Not updated this week, but at least src upgrade from commit 780a4667bbde0daa90db900bb0f93f6337d6208b (commit date: 2025-03-07) to commit 7a4907250452de0818dcd4c084a138b03f153f55 (commit date: 2025-03-29) built fine on amd64 for me last week.

Can you show your /etc/make.conf and /etc/src.conf ? If it's not a secret. Or send them to me directly. There must be some difference, I think. Or compare with my data above. Thanks.

Sure. Stripping out commented out portions and ports-specific (i.e., conditional options) parts that shouldn't affect building src.

The problem is solved. With your src.conf both the world and the kernel were built and installed normally. Now /usr/bin/elfcopy appeared where it should be. After rebooting, I returned my src.conf and everything was built and installed normally again. Some kind of mysticism, but your src.conf really helped, thank you.
