UPDATING revision 1.248 1 $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.248 2013/11/29 02:05:59 mrg Exp $
2
3 This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
4 changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
5 what to do if something doesn't work.
6
7 For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
8 using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
9
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.

16 Recent changes:
17 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
18
19 20131128:
20 The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
21 tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
22
23 20130605:
24 The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
25 to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
26
27 20130605:
28 Previous freetype installations eroneously installed private
29 header files. If you are building against a non-empty $DESTDIR,
30 please remove ${DESTDIR}//usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/freetype/.
31
32 20130531:
33 The xdm update may cause build failure due to xdm.man being
34 in the obj tree. Make sure to ensure any like this:
35 nbmake: nbmake: don't know how to make xdm.man. Stop
36 is fixed by deleting the xdm.man in the obj tree.
37
38 20130530:
39 Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
40 Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
41
42 20130301:
43 The removal of netiso requires manual removal of /usr/include/netiso
44 prior to the build and make cleandir in /usr/src/usr.bin/{ktruss,kdump}
45
46 20120726:
47 The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
48 directory and DESTDIR. *Even non-update builds require cleaning
49 DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
50 some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
51 cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
52
53 20120507:
54 The database schema for makemandb was changed. You will
55 need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
56 for the next weekly run to fix it.
57
58 20120319:
59 sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
60 size of db_symtab automatically. You need to update dbsym in
61 your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE. If
62 you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
63 mk.conf.
64
65 20120216:
66 Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO. Update builds will fail
67 unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually. If you built between 20120207
68 and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
69 /var/db/man.db index for apropos. Running makemandb -f or
70 the next run of weekly will fix it.
71
72 20111227:
73 If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
74 /usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
75 bump has been reverted.
76
77 20111125:
78 The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
79 means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
80 configuration files. The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
81 removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
82
83 20111119:
84 A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
85 utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
86 bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
87 non-backwards-compatible way. If you replace your kernel,
88 replace your rndctl executable too.
89
90 20111001:
91 the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
92 changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
93 one. So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
94 quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
95
96 20110817:
97 sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
98 DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
99
100 20110806:
101 i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
102 objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
103
104 20110805:
105 The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
106 the tree to be cleaned. Best to delete both objdir and
107 DESTDIR before running this update. So far, only the
108 sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
109
110 20110803:
111 The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed. To do an
112 update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
113 for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
114 is now a directory.
115
116 20110410:
117 The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed. To do an
118 update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
119 tools/gcc by hand.
120
121 20110328:
122 Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
123 ordering issues with "make all". It may be necessary to remove
124 the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
125 if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
126 directory.
127
128 20110121:
129 Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp. This can break
130 the build of individual parts of the tree. This is handled
131 correctly by build.sh. Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
132 and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
133
134 20101217:
135 The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
136 by default. It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
137 group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
138
139 20101125:
140 The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
141 variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
142 assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
143 old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
144 break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
145 so building gcc will end up printing:
146 checking dependency style of gcc... none
147 configure: error: no usable dependency style found
148 Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
149
150 20101119:
151 Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
152 or run-time problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
153 have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
154 versions between xorg-server and drivers.
155
156 20100604:
157 The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
158 unless they are rebuilt. If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
159 you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
160 trees by hand.
161
162 20100522:
163 Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
164 problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
165 build problems with xsrc.
166
167 20100522:
168 private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
169 include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
170
171 20100520:
172 The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed. Please
173 remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
174
175 20100222:
176 The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
177 .pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
178 libXX.so. All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
179 your object directories.
180
181 20100204:
182 The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
183 but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
184 from the system when upgrading.
185 As such, you will need to remove them from your object
186 and destination directories.
187
188 20091101:
189 After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
190 target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
191 'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'. Ditto
192 src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
193
194 20091001:
195 On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
196 before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
197
198 20091001:
199 An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
200 symlink, failing the build. Delete the link, and the subdir
201 it is in, and retry your build.
202
203 20090718:
204 libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
205 point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
206 may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
207 (Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
208
209 20090709:
210 Native Xorg was upgraded again. Builds will probably fail again
211 without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
212
213 20090616:
214 Native Xorg was upgraded. Builds will need a clean objdir for
215 src/external/mit/xorg. Upgrading a system from sets will not
216 work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
217 subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
218 be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
219
220 20090501:
221 Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
222 can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
223 who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you
224 note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
225 failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
226 objects and start again.
227
228 20090325:
229 The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain. This requires
230 cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
231
232 20090126:
233 The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
234 need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
235 to avoid using the old assembly stub.
236
237 20090202:
238 pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
239 detection. It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
240 ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
241
242 20090110:
243 time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
244 1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
245 This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
246 conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
247 2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
248 before installing.
249 3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
250 your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
251 are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
252 and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
253 libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
254 the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
255 4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
256 rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
257 Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
258 that depend on it.
259 5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
260 will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
261 6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
262 lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
263 for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
264 upgrading. The automated clearing of /var/run during
265 boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
266 newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
267 files manually.
268 7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
269 accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
270 removed. The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
271 /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
272 the file.
273 8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
274 disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
275 using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
276 rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
277
278 20081219:
279 config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
280 swapnetbsd.o - has changed format. You need to rebuild config
281 (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
282 config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
283 kernels.
284
285 20081205:
286 If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
287 /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
288 set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
289
290 20081122:
291 On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
292 file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
293 Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
294 following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
295
296 - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
297
298 - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
299 for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
300
301 If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
302 the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
303 file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
304
305 20080827:
306 If you built and installed a libc from sources between
307 2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
308 which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
309 Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
310 needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
311 $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
312
313 20080813:
314 MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
315 about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
316
317 20080802:
318 A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
319 been fixed. Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
320 for -current.
321
322 Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
323 libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
324 be recompiled.
325
326 One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
327
328 $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
329 $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
330
331 20080731:
332 WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
333 time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
334 and userland (fsck_ffs in particular). Please make sure you
335 don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
336 especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem. WAPBL
337 also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format. You
338 can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
339
340 20080721:
341 Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
342 isn't defined.
343
344 20080531:
345 The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
346 from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
347 utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
348 won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
349
350 $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
351 $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
352 $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
353
354 leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
355
356 20080503:
357 The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
358
359 20080521:
360 For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
361 succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
362 ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist. A fix for this
363 problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
364 If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
365 remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
366
367 20080303:
368 Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
369
370 20080126:
371 The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
372 stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub. You need to
373 'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
374 avoid using the old assembly stub.
375
376 20071209:
377 The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you
378 get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
379 configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
380
381 20071115:
382 The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
383 argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
384 anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
385 rather than the EC address port. Please update your kernel
386 configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
387
388 20071028:
389 The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
390 You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
391 to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
392 now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
393 entries for the wscons driver. See the GENERIC configuration file
394 for more details.
395
396 20070913:
397 A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
398 enumerate interfaces was fixed. The bug began to cause
399 problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
400 implementation was repaired. From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
401 could not enumerate interfaces. (These are noted because
402 normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
403 sufficient to avoid this problem.) Ensure that both kernel
404 and userland are from after 20070913.
405
406 20070703:
407 nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install. It
408 calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
409 down STRIP from make has been removed. This requires a
410 re-installation of tools.
411
412 20070422:
413 The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
414 has been changed. Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
415 to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
416 root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
417 root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
418 start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
419 that has such links.
420 This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
421 the emulated root.
422
423 20070412:
424 The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc
425 instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
426 example.
427
428 20070319:
429 src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
430 on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings. If you
431 updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
432 cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
433 rebuild of object files that might have been built
434 incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
435 src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
436
437 20070210:
438 src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
439 find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
440 | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
441 will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
442
443 20070209:
444 The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
445 was merged to NetBSD-current. If you boot with a new
446 kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
447 library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7). If you boot with
448 an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
449 (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6). Provided you keep the kernel and
450 the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
451 continue to work with an old or new kernel. Note that named(8)
452 is the only threaded application in the base system.
453
454 20061214:
455 Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
456 from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
457 will need to do a "make cleandir" in
458 tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
459 bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
460 usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
461 as the installation images in distrib/
462 in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
463 file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
464
465 20061108:
466 The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
467 changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
468 does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
469 make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
470
471 20061009:
472 The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
473 available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
474
475 20060814:
476 The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
477 withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC
478 kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last
479 few years should cope.
480
481 20060703:
482 MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
483 if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed

486 20060627:
487 socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
488 For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
489 your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
490 errors will result.
491
492 Hints for a more successful build:
493 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
494 Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
495 This will automatically build the tools in the
496 correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
497 new build products from interfering with the running
498 system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
499 other advice in this file.
500 Build a new kernel first:
501 This makes sure that any new system calls or features
502 expected by the new userland will be present. This
503 helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
504 Use object directories:
505 This helps to keep stale object
506 files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
507 about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
508 a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
509 same source tree for multiple machines.
510 To use object directories with build.sh:
511 a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
512 To use object directories without using build.sh:
513 a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
514 b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
515 c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
516 d) cd /usr/src ; make build
517 Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
518 in obj.$MACHINE directory.
519 Build to a DESTDIR:
520 This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
521 from interfering with the new build.
522 To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
523 To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
524 environment variable before running make build. It should be
525 set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
526 Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
527 update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
528 nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
529 (See critical utils, below.)
530 Build often:
531 This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
532 on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
533 date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
534 this problem.
535
536 What to do if things don't work:
537 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
538 When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
539 should be done.
540 1) make includes
541 This should be done automatically by make build.
542 2) cd share/mk && make install
543 Again, automatically done by make build.
544
545 Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
546 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
547 To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
548 something like the following:
549 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
550 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
551 utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
552 3) cd ...path/to/util...
553 make cleandir
554 rm ...all obj directories...
555 make cleandir # yes, again
556 make obj
557 make depend && make
558
559 Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
560 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
561 If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
562 ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
563 (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
564 for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.

599 Other problems and possible solutions:
600 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
601 Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
602 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/make:
603 cd usr.bin/make && make && make install
604 Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
605 cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin
606
607 Fix: Make sure .mk files are up to date.
608 cd share/mk && make install
609
610 Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
611 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/config
612
613 Symptom:
614 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
615
616 Symptom:
617 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/lex
618
619 Symptom:
620 Fix: rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
621
622 Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
623 Fix: Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
624 make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
625 (If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
626 may remain. The command tries to clean everything up)
627
628 Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible
629 pointer type
630 Fix: Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
631
632 Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
633 Fix: Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
634
635 Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
636 Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
637
638 Symptom:usr.bin/config fails to build.
639 Fix: Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
640
641 Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
642 Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
643
644 Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option
645 Fix: May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
646
647 Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
648 (e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
649 Fix: Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.
