UPDATING revision 1.250 1 $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.250 2013/12/28 03:39:07 christos 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 20131227:
20 1. The new ntpd runs in a restricted mode to prevent amplification
21 attacks. If you need ntpdc to work you need to explicitly enable
22 mode7 in your config file. Make sure you put the necessary restrict
23 statements to avoid being exposed.
24 2. strncat has moved from lib/libc to common/lib/libc; you might need
25 to make clean in libc
26
27 20131129:
28 The GMP sources were updated, and builds will likely fail without
29 cleaning their build trees for both tools and in-tree, like below.
30
31 20131128:
32 The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
33 tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
34
35 20130605:
36 The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
37 to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
38
39 20130605:
40 Previous freetype installations eroneously installed private
41 header files. If you are building against a non-empty $DESTDIR,
42 please remove ${DESTDIR}//usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/freetype/.
43
44 20130531:
45 The xdm update may cause build failure due to xdm.man being
46 in the obj tree. Make sure to ensure any like this:
47 nbmake: nbmake: don't know how to make xdm.man. Stop
48 is fixed by deleting the xdm.man in the obj tree.
49
50 20130530:
51 Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
52 Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
53
54 20130301:
55 The removal of netiso requires manual removal of /usr/include/netiso
56 prior to the build and make cleandir in /usr/src/usr.bin/{ktruss,kdump}
57
58 20120726:
59 The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
60 directory and DESTDIR. *Even non-update builds require cleaning
61 DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
62 some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
63 cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
64
65 20120507:
66 The database schema for makemandb was changed. You will
67 need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
68 for the next weekly run to fix it.
69
70 20120319:
71 sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
72 size of db_symtab automatically. You need to update dbsym in
73 your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE. If
74 you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
75 mk.conf.
76
77 20120216:
78 Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO. Update builds will fail
79 unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually. If you built between 20120207
80 and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
81 /var/db/man.db index for apropos. Running makemandb -f or
82 the next run of weekly will fix it.
83
84 20111227:
85 If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
86 /usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
87 bump has been reverted.
88
89 20111125:
90 The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
91 means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
92 configuration files. The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
93 removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
94
95 20111119:
96 A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
97 utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
98 bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
99 non-backwards-compatible way. If you replace your kernel,
100 replace your rndctl executable too.
101
102 20111001:
103 the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
104 changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
105 one. So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
106 quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
107
108 20110817:
109 sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
110 DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
111
112 20110806:
113 i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
114 objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
115
116 20110805:
117 The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
118 the tree to be cleaned. Best to delete both objdir and
119 DESTDIR before running this update. So far, only the
120 sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
121
122 20110803:
123 The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed. To do an
124 update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
125 for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
126 is now a directory.
127
128 20110410:
129 The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed. To do an
130 update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
131 tools/gcc by hand.
132
133 20110328:
134 Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
135 ordering issues with "make all". It may be necessary to remove
136 the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
137 if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
138 directory.
139
140 20110121:
141 Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp. This can break
142 the build of individual parts of the tree. This is handled
143 correctly by build.sh. Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
144 and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
145
146 20101217:
147 The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
148 by default. It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
149 group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
150
151 20101125:
152 The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
153 variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
154 assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
155 old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
156 break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
157 so building gcc will end up printing:
158 checking dependency style of gcc... none
159 configure: error: no usable dependency style found
160 Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
161
162 20101119:
163 Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
164 or run-time problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
165 have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
166 versions between xorg-server and drivers.
167
168 20100604:
169 The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
170 unless they are rebuilt. If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
171 you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
172 trees by hand.
173
174 20100522:
175 Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
176 problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
177 build problems with xsrc.
178
179 20100522:
180 private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
181 include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
182
183 20100520:
184 The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed. Please
185 remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
186
187 20100222:
188 The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
189 .pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
190 libXX.so. All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
191 your object directories.
192
193 20100204:
194 The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
195 but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
196 from the system when upgrading.
197 As such, you will need to remove them from your object
198 and destination directories.
199
200 20091101:
201 After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
202 target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
203 'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'. Ditto
204 src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
205
206 20091001:
207 On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
208 before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
209
210 20091001:
211 An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
212 symlink, failing the build. Delete the link, and the subdir
213 it is in, and retry your build.
214
215 20090718:
216 libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
217 point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
218 may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
219 (Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
220
221 20090709:
222 Native Xorg was upgraded again. Builds will probably fail again
223 without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
224
225 20090616:
226 Native Xorg was upgraded. Builds will need a clean objdir for
227 src/external/mit/xorg. Upgrading a system from sets will not
228 work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
229 subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
230 be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
231
232 20090501:
233 Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
234 can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
235 who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you
236 note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
237 failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
238 objects and start again.
239
240 20090325:
241 The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain. This requires
242 cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
243
244 20090126:
245 The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
246 need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
247 to avoid using the old assembly stub.
248
249 20090202:
250 pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
251 detection. It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
252 ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
253
254 20090110:
255 time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
256 1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
257 This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
258 conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
259 2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
260 before installing.
261 3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
262 your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
263 are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
264 and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
265 libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
266 the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
267 4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
268 rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
269 Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
270 that depend on it.
271 5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
272 will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
273 6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
274 lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
275 for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
276 upgrading. The automated clearing of /var/run during
277 boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
278 newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
279 files manually.
280 7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
281 accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
282 removed. The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
283 /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
284 the file.
285 8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
286 disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
287 using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
288 rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
289
290 20081219:
291 config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
292 swapnetbsd.o - has changed format. You need to rebuild config
293 (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
294 config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
295 kernels.
296
297 20081205:
298 If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
299 /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
300 set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
301
302 20081122:
303 On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
304 file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
305 Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
306 following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
307
308 - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
309
310 - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
311 for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
312
313 If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
314 the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
315 file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
316
317 20080827:
318 If you built and installed a libc from sources between
319 2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
320 which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
321 Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
322 needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
323 $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
324
325 20080813:
326 MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
327 about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
328
329 20080802:
330 A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
331 been fixed. Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
332 for -current.
333
334 Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
335 libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
336 be recompiled.
337
338 One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
339
340 $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
341 $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
342
343 20080731:
344 WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
345 time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
346 and userland (fsck_ffs in particular). Please make sure you
347 don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
348 especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem. WAPBL
349 also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format. You
350 can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
351
352 20080721:
353 Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
354 isn't defined.
355
356 20080531:
357 The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
358 from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
359 utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
360 won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
361
362 $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
363 $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
364 $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
365
366 leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
367
368 20080503:
369 The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
370
371 20080521:
372 For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
373 succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
374 ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist. A fix for this
375 problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
376 If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
377 remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
378
379 20080303:
380 Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
381
382 20080126:
383 The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
384 stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub. You need to
385 'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
386 avoid using the old assembly stub.
387
388 20071209:
389 The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you
390 get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
391 configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
392
393 20071115:
394 The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
395 argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
396 anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
397 rather than the EC address port. Please update your kernel
398 configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
399
400 20071028:
401 The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
402 You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
403 to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
404 now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
405 entries for the wscons driver. See the GENERIC configuration file
406 for more details.
407
408 20070913:
409 A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
410 enumerate interfaces was fixed. The bug began to cause
411 problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
412 implementation was repaired. From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
413 could not enumerate interfaces. (These are noted because
414 normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
415 sufficient to avoid this problem.) Ensure that both kernel
416 and userland are from after 20070913.
417
418 20070703:
419 nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install. It
420 calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
421 down STRIP from make has been removed. This requires a
422 re-installation of tools.
423
424 20070422:
425 The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
426 has been changed. Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
427 to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
428 root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
429 root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
430 start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
431 that has such links.
432 This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
433 the emulated root.
434
435 20070412:
436 The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc
437 instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
438 example.
439
440 20070319:
441 src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
442 on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings. If you
443 updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
444 cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
445 rebuild of object files that might have been built
446 incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
447 src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
448
449 20070210:
450 src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
451 find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
452 | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
453 will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
454
455 20070209:
456 The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
457 was merged to NetBSD-current. If you boot with a new
458 kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
459 library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7). If you boot with
460 an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
461 (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6). Provided you keep the kernel and
462 the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
463 continue to work with an old or new kernel. Note that named(8)
464 is the only threaded application in the base system.
465
466 20061214:
467 Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
468 from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
469 will need to do a "make cleandir" in
470 tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
471 bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
472 usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
473 as the installation images in distrib/
474 in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
475 file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
476
477 20061108:
478 The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
479 changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
480 does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
481 make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
482

484 The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
485 available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.

487 20060814:
488 The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
489 withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC
490 kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last
491 few years should cope.

493 20060703:
494 MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
495 if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
496 to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.

498 20060627:
499 socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
500 For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
501 your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
502 errors will result.
503
504 Hints for a more successful build:
505 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
506 Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
507 This will automatically build the tools in the
508 correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
509 new build products from interfering with the running
510 system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
511 other advice in this file.
512 Build a new kernel first:
513 This makes sure that any new system calls or features
514 expected by the new userland will be present. This
515 helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
516 Use object directories:
517 This helps to keep stale object
518 files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
519 about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
520 a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
521 same source tree for multiple machines.
522 To use object directories with build.sh:
523 a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
524 To use object directories without using build.sh:
525 a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
526 b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
527 c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
528 d) cd /usr/src ; make build
529 Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
530 in obj.$MACHINE directory.
531 Build to a DESTDIR:
532 This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
533 from interfering with the new build.
534 To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
535 To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
536 environment variable before running make build. It should be
537 set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
538 Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
539 update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
540 nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
541 (See critical utils, below.)
542 Build often:
543 This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
544 on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
545 date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
546 this problem.
547
548 What to do if things don't work:
549 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
550 When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
551 should be done.
552 1) make includes
553 This should be done automatically by make build.
554 2) cd share/mk && make install
555 Again, automatically done by make build.
556
557 Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
558 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
559 To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
560 something like the following:
561 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
562 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
563 utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
564 3) cd ...path/to/util...
565 make cleandir
566 rm ...all obj directories...
567 make cleandir # yes, again
568 make obj
569 make depend && make
570
571 Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
572 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
573 If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
574 ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
575 (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
576 for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.

609 usr.bin/config
610
611 Other problems and possible solutions:
612 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
613 Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
614 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/make:
615 cd usr.bin/make && make && make install
616 Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
617 cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin
618
619 Fix: Make sure .mk files are up to date.
620 cd share/mk && make install
621
622 Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
623 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/config
624
625 Symptom:
626 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
627
628 Symptom:
629 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/lex
630
631 Symptom:
632 Fix: rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
633
634 Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
635 Fix: Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
636 make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
637 (If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
638 may remain. The command tries to clean everything up)
639
640 Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible
641 pointer type
642 Fix: Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
643
644 Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
645 Fix: Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
646
647 Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
648 Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
649
650 Symptom:usr.bin/config fails to build.
651 Fix: Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
652
653 Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
654 Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
655
656 Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option
657 Fix: May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
658
659 Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
660 (e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
661 Fix: Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.
