As xterm modifies the 50 exported termcap, this would cause those modifications to be ignored. 51 kcah 52 53 hack wi-at-big-endian-bus 54 cdate 15 Mar 2002 55 who martin 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. 61 kcah 62 63 hack specific knowledge of colours in curses code 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. 70 See also: 71 http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-userlevel/2003/04/06/0000.html 72 kcah 73 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. 85 kcah 86 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. 97 kcah 98 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. 111 kcah 112 113 hack gcc 3.3.3 wrong uninitialised variable 114 mdate 12 May 2006 115 who he 116 file usr.bin/msgc/msg_sys.def : 1.33-1.34 117 file distrib/utils/sysinst/aout2elf.c : 1.11 118 descr 119 Gcc 3.3.3 gets some -Wuninitialized warnings wrong.

Both the SPARC 32-bit and 64-bit ELF specifications 443 say that they should have relocation entries, but the 32-bit 444 SPARC binutils do not generate them, and now the 64-bit SPARC 445 binutils have stopped generating them too. 446 447 To provide binary compatibility, we will check the first entry, 448 if it is reserved it should not be of the type JMP_SLOT. If it 449 is JMP_SLOT, then the 4 reserved entries were not generated and 450 our index is 4 entries too far, so we frob the rela pointer. 451 kcah 452 453 454 port arm 455 456 hack gcc-unsigned-compare 457 cdate 09 Mar 2002 458 mdate 18 Mar 2002 459 who bjh21 460 file dist/bind/lib/nameser/ns_parse.c : 1.3 461 file dist/dhcp/minires/ns_parse.c : 1.3 462 file dist/dhcp/omapip/result.c : 1.2 463 file dist/dhcp/server/failover.c : 1.3 464 file gnu/dist/gawk/eval.c : 1.4 465 file gnu/dist/toolchain/bfd/bfd.c : 1.2 466 file gnu/dist/toolchain/bfd/format.c : 1.2 467 file gnu/dist/toolchain/gdb/target.c : 1.2 468 file sys/kern/vfs_subr.c : 1.172 469 descr When checking that a potentially-unsigned enum is >= 0, assign 470 it to an int first.
