+
+	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/libstc++
+
+	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 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 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.

 	libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)
 	before building libc.
