 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
+20011006:
+	/etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of
+	absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't
+	understand the format.
+
+	Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree
+
+20011004:
+
+	Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating
+	is suggested before running a snapshot build
+
+20010922:
+	The new toolchain is enabled on i386.  This new build method
+	is intended to make all the upgrade issues elsewhere in UPDATING
+	obsolete (stay tuned...).
+
+	i386 platform builds must now set 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).
+	(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), or (temporarily) comment out
+	"options I686_CPU" from your kernel configuration until you
+	rebuilt your userland (and got a new gas).
