     54 	Because the current implementation of IP over IEEE1394, the
     55 	fw device address contains more than just the IEEE1394 EUI-64.

     64 descr
     65 	In order to extend the termcap string over 1023 bytes, a ZZ entry was
     66 	introduced to point to a memory location containing the full entry.
     67 	Without this hack, xterm will export a termcap containing the ZZ
     68 	entry, which will then be ignored by libterm.  As xterm modifies the
     69 	exported termcap, this would cause those modifications to be ignored.

     94 cdate	21 Aug 2003
     95 who	he
     96 file	sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs_linux.c : 1.14
     97 descr
     98 	Not all ports have LINUX_USRSTACK and/or USRSTACK defined as
     99 	literals/constants, but refer to variables of a type which is
    100 	not "unsigned long", causing compilation of procfs_linux.c to
    101 	fail with "makes integer from pointer without a cast".  This
    102 	is observed on e.g. the sun3 port.  Ideally the "types" for
    103 	symbols should be consistent across all ports.

    110 file	src/usr.sbin/racoon/racoon/Makefile : 1.21
    111 descr
    112 	GCC issues a warning "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
    113 	strict-aliasing rules" when compiling
    114 	crypto/dist/kame/racoon/crypto/openssl.c with -O[23s]. Note that this
    115 	is due to use of type casting in a non-standard way in the code and
    116 	not a compiler bug. Once a new release of KAME with a proper fix
    117 	applied is imported this should be backed out.

    201 	GCC 4.1 gets many uninitialised variable warnings wrong.  We should
    202 	really audit all the old hacks like this when older compilers are
    203 	removed from the tree, as many are probably no longer required.
    204 	The problem is that it does not recognize initialization via function
    205 	call pointer. I.e.
    206 		int p;
    207 		foo(&p);
    208 	does not mark p as initialized.
