  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ 20010922:
+         The new toolchain is enabled on i386.  This new build method
+         is intended to make all the ugrade issues elsewhere in UPDATING
+         obsolete (stay tuned...).
+         i386 platform builds must now et TOOLDIR in mk.conf or the
+         environment in order to build the system.  This is a pathname
+         where host build tools will be installed, and must NOT be
+         the same as src/tools.
+         (Optionally, USETOOLS=no can be set in the environment if you
+         wish to avoid using the separate host toolchain for building a
+         subtree.  Otherwise, this will default to "yes" automatically.)
+ 20010915:
+         The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed
+         a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h.  There may be stale .depend
+         files that still reference this file.
+         Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected
+         directories.
+ 20010803:
+         grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it
+         requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before
+         building gnu/usr.bin/grep.  To install new texinfo, please follow
+         the instruction described in 20010726 entry.
+ 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
