OK, here is the first problem and a patch for it.
Several people have already reported it.

Suppose, you have an *EMPTY* /usr/local/lib.

(This is the usual thing, if you have installed at least
one port, and you have no ports with libraries in /usr/local/lib).

During the second phase of upgrade process (aout-to-elf-install),
the `move_aout_libs.sh' script won't create /usr/local/lib/aout
for it, because this directory has no aout libraries at all, and
then Makefile.upgrade will fail on line 155 (rev 1.9.2.6),
that `ldconfig could not find /usr/local/lib/aout'.

Patch is attached (in two variants).
