          kernel builds has been changed again.  The latest version
          of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
+ 20040426:
+         Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
+         been removed in favor of the newer layout.  This affects
+         consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
+         the dynamic discovery mechanism.  This is believed only to
+         be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
+         the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
+         built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
+         will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
+/04/25.  If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
+         does not work, make sure that your revision of
+         src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
+         do the following:
+         cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
+         make USETOOLS=no includes
+         cd lib/libc
+         make USETOOLS=no dependall install
+         cd ../../sbin/sysctl
+         make USETOOLS=no dependall install
+         If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
+         identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
+         "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that.  if that happens,
+         make sure to follow the above steps.

          The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
