UPDATING revision 1.251 1 $NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.251 2014/01/31 10:40:44 martin 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 20140131:
20 The new compile_rt/libc integration moved a few things. If not
21 starting with a clean objdir, cd to the objdir and do:
22 rm -rf lib/libc
23 and if you are on a 64bit arch with 32bit compat, additionally:
24 rm -rf compat/sparc64/sparc/lib/libc
25 (substitute proper archs for sparc/sparc64)
26
27
28 20131227:
29 1. The new ntpd runs in a restricted mode to prevent amplification
30 attacks. If you need ntpdc to work you need to explicitly enable
31 mode7 in your config file. Make sure you put the necessary restrict
32 statements to avoid being exposed.
33 2. strncat has moved from lib/libc to common/lib/libc; you might need
34 to make clean in libc
35
36 20131129:
37 The GMP sources were updated, and builds will likely fail without
38 cleaning their build trees for both tools and in-tree, like below.
39
40 20131128:
41 The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
42 tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
43
44 20130605:
45 The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
46 to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
47
48 20130605:
49 Previous freetype installations eroneously installed private
50 header files. If you are building against a non-empty $DESTDIR,
51 please remove ${DESTDIR}//usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/freetype/.
52
53 20130531:
54 The xdm update may cause build failure due to xdm.man being
55 in the obj tree. Make sure to ensure any like this:
56 nbmake: nbmake: don't know how to make xdm.man. Stop
57 is fixed by deleting the xdm.man in the obj tree.
58
59 20130530:
60 Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
61 Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
62
63 20130301:
64 The removal of netiso requires manual removal of /usr/include/netiso
65 prior to the build and make cleandir in /usr/src/usr.bin/{ktruss,kdump}
66
67 20120726:
68 The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
69 directory and DESTDIR. *Even non-update builds require cleaning
70 DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
71 some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
72 cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
73
74 20120507:
75 The database schema for makemandb was changed. You will
76 need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
77 for the next weekly run to fix it.
78
79 20120319:
80 sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
81 size of db_symtab automatically. You need to update dbsym in
82 your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE. If
83 you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
84 mk.conf.
85
86 20120216:
87 Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO. Update builds will fail
88 unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually. If you built between 20120207
89 and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
90 /var/db/man.db index for apropos. Running makemandb -f or
91 the next run of weekly will fix it.
92
93 20111227:
94 If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
95 /usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
96 bump has been reverted.
97
98 20111125:
99 The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
100 means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
101 configuration files. The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
102 removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
103
104 20111119:
105 A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
106 utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
107 bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
108 non-backwards-compatible way. If you replace your kernel,
109 replace your rndctl executable too.
110
111 20111001:
112 the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
113 changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
114 one. So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
115 quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
116
117 20110817:
118 sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
119 DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
120
121 20110806:
122 i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
123 objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
124
125 20110805:
126 The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
127 the tree to be cleaned. Best to delete both objdir and
128 DESTDIR before running this update. So far, only the
129 sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
130
131 20110803:
132 The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed. To do an
133 update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
134 for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
135 is now a directory.
136
137 20110410:
138 The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed. To do an
139 update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
140 tools/gcc by hand.
141
142 20110328:
143 Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
144 ordering issues with "make all". It may be necessary to remove
145 the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
146 if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
147 directory.
148
149 20110121:
150 Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp. This can break
151 the build of individual parts of the tree. This is handled
152 correctly by build.sh. Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
153 and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
154
155 20101217:
156 The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
157 by default. It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
158 group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
159
160 20101125:
161 The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
162 variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
163 assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
164 old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
165 break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
166 so building gcc will end up printing:
167 checking dependency style of gcc... none
168 configure: error: no usable dependency style found
169 Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
170
171 20101119:
172 Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
173 or run-time problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
174 have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
175 versions between xorg-server and drivers.
176
177 20100604:
178 The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
179 unless they are rebuilt. If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
180 you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
181 trees by hand.
182
183 20100522:
184 Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
185 problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
186 build problems with xsrc.
187
188 20100522:
189 private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
190 include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
191
192 20100520:
193 The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed. Please
194 remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
195
196 20100222:
197 The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
198 .pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
199 libXX.so. All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
200 your object directories.
201
202 20100204:
203 The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
204 but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
205 from the system when upgrading.
206 As such, you will need to remove them from your object
207 and destination directories.
208
209 20091101:
210 After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
211 target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
212 'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'. Ditto
213 src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
214
215 20091001:
216 On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
217 before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
218
219 20091001:
220 An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
221 symlink, failing the build. Delete the link, and the subdir
222 it is in, and retry your build.
223
224 20090718:
225 libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
226 point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
227 may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
228 (Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
229
230 20090709:
231 Native Xorg was upgraded again. Builds will probably fail again
232 without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
233
234 20090616:
235 Native Xorg was upgraded. Builds will need a clean objdir for
236 src/external/mit/xorg. Upgrading a system from sets will not
237 work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
238 subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
239 be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
240
241 20090501:
242 Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
243 can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
244 who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you
245 note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
246 failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
247 objects and start again.
248
249 20090325:
250 The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain. This requires
251 cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
252
253 20090126:
254 The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
255 need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
256 to avoid using the old assembly stub.
257
258 20090202:
259 pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
260 detection. It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
261 ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
262
263 20090110:
264 time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
265 1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
266 This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
267 conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
268 2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
269 before installing.
270 3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
271 your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
272 are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
273 and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
274 libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
275 the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
276 4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
277 rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
278 Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
279 that depend on it.
280 5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
281 will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
282 6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
283 lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
284 for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
285 upgrading. The automated clearing of /var/run during
286 boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
287 newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
288 files manually.
289 7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
290 accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
291 removed. The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
292 /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
293 the file.
294 8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
295 disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
296 using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
297 rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
298
299 20081219:
300 config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
301 swapnetbsd.o - has changed format. You need to rebuild config
302 (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
303 config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
304 kernels.
305
306 20081205:
307 If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
308 /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
309 set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
310
311 20081122:
312 On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
313 file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
314 Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
315 following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
316
317 - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
318
319 - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
320 for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
321
322 If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
323 the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
324 file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
325
326 20080827:
327 If you built and installed a libc from sources between
328 2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
329 which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
330 Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
331 needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
332 $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
333
334 20080813:
335 MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
336 about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
337
338 20080802:
339 A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
340 been fixed. Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
341 for -current.
342
343 Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
344 libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
345 be recompiled.
346
347 One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
348
349 $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
350 $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
351
352 20080731:
353 WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
354 time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
355 and userland (fsck_ffs in particular). Please make sure you
356 don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
357 especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem. WAPBL
358 also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format. You
359 can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
360
361 20080721:
362 Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
363 isn't defined.
364
365 20080531:
366 The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
367 from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
368 utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
369 won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
370
371 $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
372 $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
373 $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
374
375 leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
376
377 20080503:
378 The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
379
380 20080521:
381 For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
382 succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
383 ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist. A fix for this
384 problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
385 If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
386 remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
387
388 20080303:
389 Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
390
391 20080126:
392 The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
393 stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub. You need to
394 'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
395 avoid using the old assembly stub.
396
397 20071209:
398 The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you
399 get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
400 configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
401
402 20071115:
403 The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
404 argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
405 anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
406 rather than the EC address port. Please update your kernel
407 configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
408
409 20071028:
410 The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
411 You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
412 to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
413 now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
414 entries for the wscons driver. See the GENERIC configuration file
415 for more details.
416
417 20070913:
418 A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
419 enumerate interfaces was fixed. The bug began to cause
420 problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
421 implementation was repaired. From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
422 could not enumerate interfaces. (These are noted because
423 normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
424 sufficient to avoid this problem.) Ensure that both kernel
425 and userland are from after 20070913.
426
427 20070703:
428 nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install. It
429 calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
430 down STRIP from make has been removed. This requires a
431 re-installation of tools.
432
433 20070422:
434 The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
435 has been changed. Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
436 to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
437 root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
438 root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
439 start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
440 that has such links.
441 This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
442 the emulated root.
443
444 20070412:
445 The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc
446 instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
447 example.
448
449 20070319:
450 src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
451 on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings. If you
452 updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
453 cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
454 rebuild of object files that might have been built
455 incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
456 src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
457
458 20070210:
459 src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
460 find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
461 | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
462 will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
463
464 20070209:
465 The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
466 was merged to NetBSD-current. If you boot with a new
467 kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
468 library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7). If you boot with
469 an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
470 (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6). Provided you keep the kernel and
471 the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
472 continue to work with an old or new kernel. Note that named(8)
473 is the only threaded application in the base system.
474
475 20061214:
476 Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
477 from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
478 will need to do a "make cleandir" in
479 tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
480 bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
481 usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
482 as the installation images in distrib/
483 in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
484 file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.

486 20061108:
487 The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
488 changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
489 does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
490 make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
491
492 20061009:
493 The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
494 available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
495
496 20060814:
497 The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
498 withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC
499 kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last
500 few years should cope.

502 20060703:
503 MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
504 if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
505 to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
506
507 20060627:
508 socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
509 For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
510 your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
511 errors will result.
512
513 Hints for a more successful build:
514 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
515 Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
516 This will automatically build the tools in the
517 correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
518 new build products from interfering with the running
519 system. This will allow you to ignore most of the
520 other advice in this file.
521 Build a new kernel first:
522 This makes sure that any new system calls or features
523 expected by the new userland will be present. This
524 helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
525 Use object directories:
526 This helps to keep stale object
527 files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
528 about one. It also makes it easier to clean up after
529 a build. It's also necessary if you want to use the
530 same source tree for multiple machines.
531 To use object directories with build.sh:
532 a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
533 To use object directories without using build.sh:
534 a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
535 b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
536 c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
537 d) cd /usr/src ; make build
538 Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
539 in obj.$MACHINE directory.
540 Build to a DESTDIR:
541 This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
542 from interfering with the new build.
543 To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
544 To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
545 environment variable before running make build. It should be
546 set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
547 Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
548 update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
549 nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
550 (See critical utils, below.)
551 Build often:
552 This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
553 on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
554 date functionality. If you use build.sh, you should not have
555 this problem.
556
557 What to do if things don't work:
558 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
559 When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
560 should be done.
561 1) make includes
562 This should be done automatically by make build.
563 2) cd share/mk && make install
564 Again, automatically done by make build.
565
566 Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
567 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
568 To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
569 something like the following:
570 1) Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
571 2) Make sure any program used to build the particular
572 utility is up to date. (yacc, lex, etc...)
573 3) cd ...path/to/util...
574 make cleandir
575 rm ...all obj directories...
576 make cleandir # yes, again
577 make obj
578 make depend && make
579
580 Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
581 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
582 If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
583 ready for a build try the following. Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
584 (a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
585 for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.

619
620 Other problems and possible solutions:
621 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
622 Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
623 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/make:
624 cd usr.bin/make && make && make install
625 Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
626 cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin
627
628 Fix: Make sure .mk files are up to date.
629 cd share/mk && make install
630
631 Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
632 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/config
633
634 Symptom:
635 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
636
637 Symptom:
638 Fix: Rebuild usr.bin/lex
639
640 Symptom:
641 Fix: rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
642
643 Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
644 Fix: Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
645 make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
646 (If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
647 may remain. The command tries to clean everything up)
648
649 Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible
650 pointer type
651 Fix: Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
652
653 Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
654 Fix: Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
655
656 Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
657 Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
658
659 Symptom:usr.bin/config fails to build.
660 Fix: Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
661
662 Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
663 Fix: Rebuild and install lib/libc
664
665 Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option
666 Fix: May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
667
668 Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
669 (e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
670 Fix: Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.
