81 Because the current implementation of IP over IEEE1394, the
82 fw device address contains more than just the IEEE1394 EUI-64.
83 So when printing out IEEE1394 addresses, ignore the extra stuff.

89 file xsrc/xc/programs/xterm/main.c : 1.2 : 3609 : 3614
90 pr 10383
91 descr
92 In order to extend the termcap string over 1023 bytes, a ZZ entry was
93 introduced to point to a memory location containing the full entry.
94 Without this hack, xterm will export a termcap containing the ZZ
95 entry, which will then be ignored by libterm. As xterm modifies the
96 exported termcap, this would cause those modifications to be ignored.

120 hack Compensation for differing types of LINUX_USRSTACK and USRSTACK
121 cdate 21 Aug 2003
122 who he
123 file sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs_linux.c : 1.14
124 descr
125 Not all ports have LINUX_USRSTACK and/or USRSTACK defined as
126 literals/constants, but refer to variables of a type which is
127 not "unsigned long", causing compilation of procfs_linux.c to
128 fail with "makes integer from pointer without a cast". This
129 is observed on e.g. the sun3 port. Ideally the "types" for
130 symbols should be consistent across all ports.

210 descr
211 GCC 4.1 gets many uninitialised variable warnings wrong. We should
212 really audit all the old hacks like this when older compilers are
213 removed from the tree, as many are probably no longer required.
214 The problem is that it does not recognize initialization via function
215 call pointer. I.e.
216 int p;
217 foo(&p);
218 does not mark p as initialized.

412 descr
413 Our cabs and cabsf have a different argument format on some architectures
414 and for that we have created in libm/compat_cabs{,f}.c. The standard
415 versions in libc are __c99_cabs{,f,l} and there are __RENAME()'s in
416 <complex.h>. G++ uses __builtin_cabs{,f,l} to implement those and they
417 translate by default to cabs{,f,l} which gets defined to cabs{,f} (the
418 wrong function) and an undefined cabsl. I've changed <complex> to use
419 the __c99_cabs{,f,l} directly. Using the __builtin_cabs{,f,l} in gcc is
420 still broken.

994 level -O[12], which results in failure in aes_ccm_selftest().

996 mac68k (Quadra 840AV, 68040). Whereas -O0 and -O2 work but -O1 fails
997 for sun3 (TME, 68020 emulator) and sun2 (TME, 68010 emulator).
