UPDATING revision 1.250
1$NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.250 2013/12/28 03:39:07 christos Exp $

3This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
4changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
5what to do if something doesn't work.
6
7For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
8using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
9
10Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
11build.sh existed.  Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
12working around specific problems with build.sh.

16Recent changes:
17^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
18
1920131227:
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
2720131129:
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
3120131128:
32	The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
33	tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
34
3520130605:
36	The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
37	to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
38
3920130605:
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
4420130531:
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
5020130530:
51	Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
52	Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
53
5420130301:
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
5820120726:
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
6520120507:
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
7020120319:
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
7720120216:
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
8420111227:
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
8920111125:
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
9520111119:
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
10220111001:
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
10820110817:
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
11220110806:
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
11620110805:
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
12220110803:
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
12820110410:
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
13320110328:
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
14020110121:
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
14620101217:
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
15120101125:
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
16220101119:
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
16820100604:
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
17420100522:
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
17920100522:
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
18320100520:
184	The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed.  Please
185	remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
186
18720100222:
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
19320100204:
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
20020091101:
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
20620091001:
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
21020091001:
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
21520090718:
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
22120090709:
222	Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
223	without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
224
22520090616:
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
23220090501:
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
24020090325:
241	The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
242	cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
243
24420090126:
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
24920090202:
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
25420090110:
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
29020081219:
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
29720081205:
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
30220081122:
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
31720080827:
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
32520080813:
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
32920080802:
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
34320080731:
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
35220080721:
353	Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
354	isn't defined.
355
35620080531:
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
36820080503:
369	The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
370
37120080521:
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
37920080303:
380	Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
381
38220080126:
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
38820071209:
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
39320071115:
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
40020071028:
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
40820070913:
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
41820070703:
419	nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install.  It
420	calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
421	down STRIP from make has been removed.  This requires a
422	re-installation of tools.
423
42420070422:
425	The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
426	has been changed.  Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
427	to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
428	root.  One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
429	root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
430	start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
431	that has such links.
432	This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
433	the emulated root.
434
43520070412:
436	The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed.  Use macekbc
437	instead.  See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
438	example.
439
44020070319:
441        src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
442        on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings.  If you
443        updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$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
44920070210:
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
45520070209:
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.

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
47720061108:
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
48320061009:
484	The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
485	available.  Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
486
48720060814:
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.
492
49320060703:
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.
497
49820060627:
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
504Hints 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
548What to do if things don't work:
549^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
550When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
551should 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
557Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
558^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
559To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
560something 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
571Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
572^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
573If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
574ready 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
576for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.

611Other problems and possible solutions:
612^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
613Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
614Fix:	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
619Fix:	Make sure .mk files are up to date.
620	cd share/mk && make install
621
622Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
623Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/config
624
625Symptom:
626Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
627
628Symptom:
629Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/lex
630
631Symptom:
632Fix:	rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
633
634Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
635Fix:	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
640Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible
641	pointer type
642Fix:	Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
643
644Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
645Fix:	Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
646
647Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
648Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
649
650Symptom:usr.bin/config fails to build.
651Fix:	Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
652
653Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
654Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
655
656Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option
657Fix:    May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
658
659Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
660	(e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
661Fix:    Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.
