 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   20020319:
           raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len
           on send(2) operation.  be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold
           newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.
   
   20020311:
           ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh.  Beware
           if you restart your machine from remote.  Note that sshd.conf needs
           to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).
   
   20020223:
           Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas
           so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all
           the VAX assembly files.
   
 20010922:  20020118:
         The new toolchain is enabled on i386.  This new build method  
         is intended to make all the ugrade issues elsewhere in UPDATING          ntpd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in or builds
         obsolete (stay tuned...).          will break as mtree aborts early.
   
         i386 platform builds must now set TOOLDIR in mk.conf or the          Add the following into /etc/group:
         environment in order to build the system.  This is a pathname  
         where host build tools will be installed, and must NOT be          ntpd:*:15:
         the same as src/tools.  
           and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
         (Optionally, USETOOLS=no can be set in the environment if you  
         wish to avoid using the separate host toolchain for building a          ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin
         subtree.  Otherwise, this will default to "yes" automatically.)  
   20011207:
   
           If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
           reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
           toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
   
           To fix:
   
           Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
           Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
   
           gnu/lib/libgcc
           gnu/lib/libstdc++
   
           After this a snapshot will be able to be built.
   
   20011201:
           In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If
           you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this
           point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating
           point is broken.
   
           To build:
   
           remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc
           remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links
           against the new libgcc.a)
   
   20011128:
           Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in
           the various "files" files.  Bug fixes to config(8) are
           required in order for this to work properly.  Make sure
           to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting
           to build a new kernel.
   
   20011030:
           libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)
           before building libc.
   
   20011029:
           The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
           see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
           procedure in great detail.  BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
           build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
           manual update log.
   
           Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
           BUILDING document for caveats.  Generally, BUILDING supersedes
           UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
           by the new build system.
   
   20011028:
           src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle
           symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that
           prevented this was corrected.
   
           Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall
           Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work
           for you.
   
   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
