+	On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)

+	An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
+	symlink, failing the build.  Delete the link, and the subdir
+	it is in, and retry your build.

+20090718:
+	libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
+	point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
+	may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
+	(Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)

 	Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
 	without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
