+20010803:
+	(i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like fxsave which
+	old gas doesn't understand.  To build the kernel successfuly, you
+	need to build and install new gas (gnu/usr.bin/gas.new).
+
+20010731:
+	Bootloader update on ELF platforms.  DDB in kernels from before
+	this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer
+	bootloaders.
+
+20010726:
+	Texinfo was updated to 4.0.  To avoid failures when trying to
+	build the included texinfo files, do:
+
+	cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
+	make MKINFO=no dependall install
+
+20010718:
+
+	Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0.  The way this
+	was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
+	make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
+	timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
+
+	The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
+	if you have a stale dependency.
+
+	Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
+	before starting your build.
+
+20010628:
+
+	A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug
+	in lint(1).  If you get a warning/error about a non-portable
+	bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.
+
+20010226:
+
+	Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds
+	will break as mtree aborts early.
+
+	To work around add by hand:
+
+	named:*:14:
+
+	to /etc/group and add:
+
+	named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin
+
+	to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).
+
+	Now a make build should progress.
+
+20010219:
+	get/setprogname() added. Any hostprog's that may use this will need
+        to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.
+
+        Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff
+			usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to
+			  CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)
+			usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if
+  		          building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.
