         If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"             rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
         before rebuilding the tools.             Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
              that depend on it.

         All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into             lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic

           set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
         Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider  
         old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be  20081122:
         incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.          On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including

           example.
 20020223:  
         Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas  20070319:

         ntpd:*:15:          src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
             find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):                | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
           will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
         ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin  
   20070209:
 20011207:          The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
         If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting          was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
         reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native          kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
         toolchain has some broken C++ bits.          library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7).  If you boot with
           an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
         To fix:          (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
           the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
         Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)          continue to work with an old or new kernel.  Note that named(8)
         Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)          is the only threaded application in the base system.
   
         gnu/lib/libgcc  20061214:
         gnu/lib/libstdc++          Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
           from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
         After this a snapshot will be able to be built.          will need to do a "make cleandir" in
                   tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
 20011201:                  bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
         In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If                  usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
         you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this                  as the installation images in distrib/
         point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating          in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
         point is broken.          file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
   
         To build:  20061108:
           The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
         remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc          changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and

         against the new libgcc.a)          make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
   
 20011128:  20061009:
         Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in          The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
         the various "files" files.  Bug fixes to config(8) are          available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
         required in order for this to work properly.  Make sure  
         to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting  20060814:
         to build a new kernel.          The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
           withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC

         libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)          few years should cope.
         before building libc.  
   20060703:
 20011029:          MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
         The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or          if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
         see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build          to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
         procedure in great detail.  BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN  
         build process, are intended in the long run to replace this  20060627:
         manual update log.          socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
           For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
         Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the          your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
         BUILDING document for caveats.  Generally, BUILDING supersedes          errors will result.
         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.  
   
 20000929:  
         The following make directives are obsoleted.  
         MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA  
         By default, RSA is built into libcrypto.  IDEA and RC5 will not be  
         built into libcrypto.  By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build  
         additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
