                      4: changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
                      5: what to do if something doesn't work.

1.123     jmc         7: For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
                      8: using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.

                     10: Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
                     11: build.sh existed.  Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
                     12: working around specific problems with build.sh.

                     31:        changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
                     32:        does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
                     33:        make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.

                     37:        available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.

                     41:        withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC

                     46:        MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
                     47:        if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
                     48:        to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.

                     52:        For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
                     53:        your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
                     54:        errors will result.

                     58:        (sys/arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript*) were changed to set the
1.146     pavel      59:        load address correctly, for the benefit of MULTIBOOT boot loaders
                     60:        (like Grub). If you use a linker (ld) older than from 2006/04/17, it
1.147     christos   61:        will be unable to link the kernel because of a bug and ld will fail
                     62:        with an error like:

                     64:                non constant expression for load base
                     65:        You need to update at least src/gnu/dist/binutils/ld and recompile
                     66:        and install the linker. If using the build.sh script, the easiest
                     67:        way is with a "build.sh tools" command, with any other options
                     68:        that you use normally. When using build.sh, the linker binary is
                     69:        installed as ${TOOLDIR}/bin/i386--netbsdelf-ld.

                     73:        the kernel was changed. Before installing a new kernel,
                     74:        you need to update ofwboot. After a full build, just copy
                     75:        /usr/mdec/ofwboot to /, or do a rebuild of
                     76:        src/sys/arch/sparc/stand/ofwboot and install the result to /.

                     81:        If you have kernel config files which doesn't include

                     93:        attributes and locator names, were changed. config(1) was
                     94:        modified to emit the new data structures.
                     95:        Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel

1.141     augustss   99:        genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build
                    100:        tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before
