 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   
   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), or (temporarily) comment out
           "options I686_CPU" from your kernel configuration until you
           rebuilt your userland (and got a new gas).
   
   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
           will break as mtree aborts early.
   
           To work around add by hand:
   
           named:*:14:
   
           to /etc/group and add:
   
           named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin
   
           to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).
   
           Now a make build should progress.
   
   20010219:
           get/setprogname() added. Any hostprog's that may use this will need
           to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.
   
           Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff
                           usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to
                             CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)
                           usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if
                             building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.
   
   20010204:
           prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in
           particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc
           needs to be installed before make build.
   
   20010114:
           introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
           bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
           anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
           with make build.
   
   20010101:
           bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused
           afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.
   
   20001230:
           New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
           If you get make errors,
                   (cd share/mk; make install)
           Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
   
   20001019:
           The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
           major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
           directory.
   
 20000929:  20000929:
         The following make directives are obsoleted.          The following make directives are obsoleted.
