 This file is intended to be a brief introduction to the build
 process and a reference on what to do if something doesn't work.
 
 For a more detailed description see Makefile.
 
-Note that users of the new toolchain in many instances will not
-experience the problems listed below because their host tools are
-automatically generated for them.

-        /usr/src/build.sh exists as of 2001.10.19. From the cvs log:
-
-        "Script to automate bootstrapping a build on any host platform.
-         Creates a bmake (rebuilds, if necessary) and invokes that to
-         start the build."
-
-        This should, incidentally, allow 1.5.x hosts to build -current
-        using the new toolchain, on USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN-enabled platforms.

+	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 it's abililty 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 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.
