Changing the version to 2.0.3 and building with that worked to build a 
package, which does not work.  The module is somewhere it shouldn't be: 
/usr/lib/modules , instead of /lib/modules .  Modprobe couldn't load 
it.  I think the build script is even now broken for 0.8.6 (same 
problem) for Slackware stable.  I hope anyone upgrading had backups of 
their data and and old zfs-on-linux package saved (of course, they could 
get one from SlackOnly.)
