 Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
 	(e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
 Fix:    Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.

+Symptom:cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory /cvsroot/src/...:
+	No such file or directory.
+Cause:	If a directory is created by mistake, then it is sometimes
+	deleted from the CVS repository using administrative commands
+	that bypass the normal cvs access controls.  If your cvs working tree
+	contains references to a directory that has been deleted on the
+	server in this way, then "cvs update" reports this error.
+Fix:	Recursively delete the affected directory from your working tree
+	and try the update again.
