 This file is intended to be a brief introduction to the build  This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
 process and a reference on what to do if something doesn't work.  changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
   what to do if something doesn't work.
   
   For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
   using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
   
   Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
   build.sh existed.  Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for

 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   
 20020917:  20120207:
         USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:          Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO. Update builds will fail

                 there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,  
                 x86_64).  20111227:

                 platforms.  
   20111125:
 20020906:          The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
         gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and          means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
         reinstall usr.sbin/config before build the kernel.          configuration files.  The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
           removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
 20020822:  
         Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)  20111119:
         are now provided in /rescue.          A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)

         from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).          replace your rndctl executable too.
   
 20020820:  
         crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program  
         is statically linked.  
   
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch  
   
 20020515:  
         sshd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in, or sshd  
         will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes)  
   
         Add the following into /etc/group:  
   
         sshd:*:16:  
   
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):  
   
         sshd:*:16:16::0:0:& pseudo-user:/var/chroot/sshd:/sbin/nologin  
   
         also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as a part of  20111001:
         build process).          the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
           changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
 20020426:          one. So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
         NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.          quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
   
 20020426:  20110817:
         etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for          sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
         configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of          DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
         the problems identified.  
         This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's  20110806:
         configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).          i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
           objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
 20020320:  
         <bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for it's "-a cmd" support.  20110805:
         build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.          The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
           the tree to be cleaned.  Best to delete both objdir and
 20020319:          DESTDIR before running this update.  So far, only the
         raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len          sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
         on send(2) operation.  be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold  
         newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.  20110803:
           The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed. To do an
 20020311:          update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
         ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh.  Beware          for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
         if you restart your machine from remote.  Note that sshd.conf needs          is now a directory.
         to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).  
   20110410:
 20020223:          The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed. To do an
         Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas          update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
         so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all          tools/gcc by hand.
         the VAX assembly files.  
   20110328:
 20020118:          Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
           ordering issues with "make all". It may be necessary to remove
         ntpd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in or builds          the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
         will break as mtree aborts early.          if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
   
         Add the following into /etc/group:  
   
         ntpd:*:15:  
   
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):  
   
         ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin  
   
 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  
   
 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 successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,  
         (i.e., build.sh -t) or  (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"  
         from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.  
         See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.  
         [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]  
   
 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 hostprogs 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.          directory.
   
 20000929:  20110121:
         The following make directives are obsoleted.          Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp.  This can break
         MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA          the build of individual parts of the tree.  This is handled
         By default, RSA is built into libcrypto.  IDEA and RC5 will not be          correctly by build.sh.  Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
         built into libcrypto.  By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build          and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
         additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.  
   20101217:
           The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
           by default. It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
           group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
   
   20101125:
           The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
           variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
           assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
           old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
           break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
           so building gcc will end up printing:
               checking dependency style of gcc... none
               configure: error: no usable dependency style found
           Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
   
   20101119:
           Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
           or run-time problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
           have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
           versions between xorg-server and drivers.
   
   20100604:
           The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
           unless they are rebuilt.  If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
           you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
           trees by hand.
   
   20100522:
           Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
           problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
           build problems with xsrc.
   
   20100522:
           private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
           include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
   
   20100520:
           The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed. Please
           remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
   
   20100222:
           The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
           .pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
           libXX.so.  All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
           your object directories.
   
   20100204:
           The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
           but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
           from the system when upgrading.
           As such, you will need to remove them from your object
           and destination directories.
   
   20091101:
           After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
           target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
           'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'.  Ditto
           src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
   
   20091001:
           On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
           before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
   
   20091001:
           An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
           symlink, failing the build.  Delete the link, and the subdir
           it is in, and retry your build.
   
   20090718:
           libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
           point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
           may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
           (Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
   
   20090709:
           Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
           without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
   
   20090616:
           Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for
           src/external/mit/xorg.  Upgrading a system from sets will not
           work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
           subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
           be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
   
   20090501:
           Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
           can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
           who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you
           note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
           failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
           objects and start again.
   
   20090325:
           The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
           cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
   
   20090126:
           The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
           need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
           to avoid using the old assembly stub.
   
   20090202:
           pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
           detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
           ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
   
   20090110:
           time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
           1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
              This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
              conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
           2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
              before installing.
           3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
              your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
              are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
              and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
              libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
              the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
           4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
              rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
              Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
              that depend on it.
           5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
              will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
           6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
              lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
              for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
              upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
              boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
              newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
              files manually.
           7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
              accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
              removed.  The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
              /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
              the file.
           8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
              disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
              using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
              rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
   
   20081219:
           config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
           swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config
           (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
           config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
           kernels.
   
   20081205:
           If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
           /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
           set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
   
   20081122:
           On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
           file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
           Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
           following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
   
           - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
   
           - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
             for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
   
           If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
           the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
           file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
   
   20080827:
           If you built and installed a libc from sources between
           2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
           which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
           Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
           needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
             $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
   
   20080813:
           MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
           about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
   
   20080802:
           A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
           been fixed. Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
           for -current.
   
           Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
           libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
           be recompiled.
   
           One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
   
             $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
             $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
   
   20080731:
           WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
           time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
           and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
           don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
           especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
           also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
           can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
   
   20080721:
           Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
           isn't defined.
   
   20080531:
           The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
           from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
           utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
           won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
   
             $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
             $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
             $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
   
           leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
   
   20080503:
           The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
   
   20080521:
           For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
           succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
           ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist.  A fix for this
           problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
           If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
           remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
   
   20080303:
           Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
   
   20080126:
           The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
           stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub. You need to
           'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
           avoid using the old assembly stub.
   
   20071209:
           The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you
           get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
           configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
   
   20071115:
           The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
           argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
           anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
           rather than the EC address port. Please update your kernel
           configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
   
   20071028:
           The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
           You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
           to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
           now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
           entries for the wscons driver.  See the GENERIC configuration file
           for more details.
   
   20070913:
           A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
           enumerate interfaces was fixed.  The bug began to cause
           problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
           implementation was repaired.  From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
           could not enumerate interfaces.  (These are noted because
           normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
           sufficient to avoid this problem.)  Ensure that both kernel
           and userland are from after 20070913.
   
   20070703:
           nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install. It
           calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
           down STRIP from make has been removed.  This requires a
           re-installation of tools.
   
   20070422:
           The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
           has been changed.  Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
           to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
           root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
           root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
           start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
           that has such links.
           This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
           the emulated root.
   
   20070412:
           The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc
           instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
           example.
   
   20070319:
           src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
           on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings.  If you
           updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
           cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
           rebuild of object files that might have been built
           incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
           src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
   
   20070210:
           src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
             find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
                 | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
           will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
   
   20070209:
           The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
           was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
           kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
           library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7).  If you boot with
           an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
           (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
           the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
           continue to work with an old or new kernel.  Note that named(8)
           is the only threaded application in the base system.
   
   20061214:
           Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
           from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
           will need to do a "make cleandir" in
                   tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
                   bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
                   usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
                   as the installation images in distrib/
           in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
           file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
   
   20061108:
           The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
           changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
           does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
           make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
   
   20061009:
           The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
           available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
   
   20060814:
           The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
           withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
           kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
           few years should cope.
   
   20060703:
           MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
           if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
           to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
   
   20060627:
           socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
           For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
           your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
           errors will result.
