30 hack netstat ieee1394 address printing.
31 mdate 14 Nov 2000
32 who matt
33 file lib/libc/net/getnameinfo.c : 1.32 : 497 : 503
34 descr
35 Because the current implementation of IP over IEEE1394, the
36 fw device address contains more than just the IEEE1394 EUI-64.
37 So when printing out IEEE1394 addresses, ignore the extra stuff.

40 hack xterm vs. libterm
41 mdate 01 Aug 2000
42 who jdc
43 file xsrc/xc/programs/xterm/main.c : 1.2 : 3609 : 3614
44 pr 10383
45 descr
46 In order to extend the termcap string over 1023 bytes, a ZZ entry was
47 introduced to point to a memory location containing the full entry.
48 Without this hack, xterm will export a termcap containing the ZZ
49 entry, which will then be ignored by libterm. As xterm modifies the
50 exported termcap, this would cause those modifications to be ignored.

56 file dev/ic/wireg.h
57 descr Add an option to access the underlying bus in big endian byte order
58 to work around deficiencies in bus_space_{read,write}_* macros.
59 Those don't allow the implementation of a proper pcmcia bus space
60 tag.

64 cdate Sun Apr 6 11:05:24 BST 2003
65 who jdc
66 file lib/libcurses/color.c : r1.24
67 descr
68 Swap red/blue and yellow/cyan colours for COLOR_OTHER.
69 Fix is to enhance libtermcap to understand terminfo-style % sequences.

74 hack Compensation for differing types of LINUX_USRSTACK and USRSTACK
75 cdate 21 Aug 2003
76 who he
77 file sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs_linux.c : 1.14
78 descr
79 Not all ports have LINUX_USRSTACK and/or USRSTACK defined as
80 literals/constants, but refer to variables of a type which is
81 not "unsigned long", causing compilation of procfs_linux.c to
82 fail with "makes integer from pointer without a cast". This
83 is observed on e.g. the sun3 port. Ideally the "types" for
84 symbols should be consistent across all ports.

87 hack GCC2 isn't C99
88 cdate 5 December 2003
89 who mrg
90 file gnu/dist/binutils/ld/ldlex.c: r1.2
91 descr
92 ldlex.c is generated from ldlex.l and we get macro redefinition
93 errors from it if __STDC_VERSION__ is not C99 compliant. This
94 hack forces NetBSD 1.6 and later systems to also include <stdint.h>
95 to get the relevant definitions. This hack should be backed out
96 when all platforms have switched away from GCC2.

99 hack gcc-strict-aliasing
100 cdate 6 August 2004
101 who junyoung
102 pr 26516
103 file src/usr.sbin/racoon/racoon/Makefile : 1.21
104 descr
105 GCC issues a warning "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
106 strict-aliasing rules" when compiling
107 crypto/dist/kame/racoon/crypto/openssl.c with -O[23s]. Note that this
108 is due to use of type casting in a non-standard way in the code and
109 not a compiler bug. Once a new release of KAME with a proper fix
110 applied is imported this should be backed out.

418 descr
419 The first four PLT entries are reserved. There is some
420 disagreement whether they should have associated relocation
421 entries. Both the SPARC 32-bit and 64-bit ELF specifications
422 say that they should have relocation entries, but the 32-bit
423 SPARC binutils do not generate them, and now the 64-bit SPARC
424 binutils have stopped generating them too.
425
426 To provide binary compatibility, we will check the first entry,
427 if it is reserved it should not be of the type JMP_SLOT. If it
428 is JMP_SLOT, then the 4 reserved entries were not generated and
429 our index is 4 entries too far, so we frob the rela pointer.

536 The SuperH SH5 toolchain generates incorrect PIC code when

539 being declared .globl in that statement). Work around it by
540 adding the .globl.
