UPDATING revision 1.229.2.4
1$NetBSD: UPDATING,v 1.229.2.4 2014/05/22 13:23:26 yamt Exp $

3This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
4changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
5what to do if something doesn't work.
6
7For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
8using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
9
10Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
11build.sh existed.  Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
12working around specific problems with build.sh.

16Recent changes:
17^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
18
1920140131:
20	The new compiler_rt/libc integration moved a few things. It is strongly
21	advised to do a clean build. At least lib/libc, the compat version(s)
22	of libc, libkern, rump and the kernels need to be cleaned.
23
2420131227:
25	1. The new ntpd runs in a restricted mode to prevent amplification
26	   attacks. If you need ntpdc to work you need to explicitly enable
27	   mode7 in your config file. Make sure you put the necessary restrict
28	   statements to avoid being exposed.
29	2. strncat has moved from lib/libc to common/lib/libc; you might need
30	   to make clean in libc
31
3220131129:
33	The GMP sources were updated, and builds will likely fail without
34	cleaning their build trees for both tools and in-tree, like below.
35
3620131128:
37	The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
38	tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
39
4020130605:
41	The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
42	to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
43
4420130605:
45	Previous freetype installations eroneously installed private
46	header files. If you are building against a non-empty $DESTDIR,
47	please remove ${DESTDIR}//usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/freetype/.
48
4920130531:
50	The xdm update may cause build failure due to xdm.man being
51	in the obj tree.  Make sure to ensure any like this:
52		nbmake: nbmake: don't know how to make xdm.man. Stop
53	is fixed by deleting the xdm.man in the obj tree.
54
5520130530:
56	Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
57	Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
58
5920130301:
60	The removal of netiso requires manual removal of /usr/include/netiso
61	prior to the build and make cleandir in /usr/src/usr.bin/{ktruss,kdump}
62
6320120726:
64	The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
65	directory and DESTDIR.  *Even non-update builds require cleaning
66	DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
67	some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
68	cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
69
7020120507:
71	The database schema for makemandb was changed.  You will
72	need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
73	for the next weekly run to fix it.
74
7520120319:
76	sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
77	size of db_symtab automatically.  You need to update dbsym in
78	your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE.  If
79	you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
80	mk.conf.
81
8220120216:
83	Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO.  Update builds will fail
84	unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually.  If you built between 20120207
85	and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
86	/var/db/man.db index for apropos.  Running makemandb -f or
87	the next run of weekly will fix it.
88
8920111227:
90	If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
91	/usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
92	bump has been reverted.
93
9420111125:
95	The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
96	means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
97	configuration files.  The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
98	removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
99
10020111119:
101	A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
102	utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
103	bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
104	non-backwards-compatible way.  If you replace your kernel,
105	replace your rndctl executable too.
106
10720111001:
108	the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
109	changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
110	one.  So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
111	quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
112
11320110817:
114	sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
115	DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
116
11720110806:
118	i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
119	objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
120
12120110805:
122	The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
123	the tree to be cleaned.  Best to delete both objdir and
124	DESTDIR before running this update.  So far, only the
125	sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
126
12720110803:
128	The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed.  To do an
129	update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
130	for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
131	is now a directory.
132
13320110410:
134	The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed.  To do an
135	update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
136	tools/gcc by hand.
137
13820110328:
139	Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
140	ordering issues with "make all".  It may be necessary to remove
141	the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
142	if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
143	directory.
144
14520110121:
146	Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp.  This can break
147	the build of individual parts of the tree.  This is handled
148	correctly by build.sh.  Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
149	and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
150
15120101217:
152	The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
153	by default.  It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
154	group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
155
15620101125:
157	The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
158	variables with names that contain '='.  Revision 1.18 of env.c
159	assumed that this was allowed.  Installing a new libc with an
160	old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
161	break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
162	so building gcc will end up printing:
163	    checking dependency style of gcc... none
164	    configure: error: no usable dependency style found
165	Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
166
16720101119:
168	Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
169	or run-time problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
170	have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
171	versions between xorg-server and drivers.
172
17320100604:
174	The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
175	unless they are rebuilt.  If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
176	you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
177	trees by hand.
178
17920100522:
180	Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
181	problems.  Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
182	build problems with xsrc.
183
18420100522:
185	private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1)
186	include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
187
18820100520:
189	The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed.  Please
190	remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
191
19220100222:
193	The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
194	.pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
195	libXX.so.  All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
196	your object directories.
197
19820100204:
199	The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
200	but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
201	from the system when upgrading.
202	As such, you will need to remove them from your object
203	and destination directories.
204
20520091101:
206        After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
207        target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
208        'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'.  Ditto
209        src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
210
21120091001:
212	On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
213	before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
214
21520091001:
216	An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
217	symlink, failing the build.  Delete the link, and the subdir
218	it is in, and retry your build.
219
22020090718:
221	libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
222	point for index().  Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
223	may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
224	(Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
225
22620090709:
227	Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
228	without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
229
23020090616:
231	Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for
232	src/external/mit/xorg.  Upgrading a system from sets will not
233	work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
234	subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
235	be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
236
23720090501:
238	Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
239	can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
240	who fail to clean out their tools objects properly.  If you
241	note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
242	failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
243	objects and start again.
244
24520090325:
246	The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
247	cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
248
24920090126:
250	The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type.  You
251	need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
252	to avoid using the old assembly stub.
253
25420090202:
255	pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
256	detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
257	``pkg_admin rebuild''.
258
25920090110:
260	time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities.  To upgrade:
261	1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it.  Build and install.
262	   This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
263	   conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
264	2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
265	   before installing.
266	3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
267	   your build breaks in the middle, don't despair.  Make sure headers
268	   are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
269	   and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
270	   libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them.  Once
271	   the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
272	4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
273	   rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
274	   Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
275	   that depend on it.
276	5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
277	   will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
278	6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
279	   lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
280	   for utmp.  You are better off removing the old files after
281	   upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
282	   boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
283	   newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
284	   files manually.
285	7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
286	   accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
287	   removed.  The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
288	   /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
289	   the file.
290	8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
291	   disk will break or need attention.  Most notably: if you are
292	   using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
293	   rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
294
29520081219:
296	config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
297	swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config
298	(done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
299	config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
300	kernels.
301
30220081205:
303	If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
304	/etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
305	set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
306
30720081122:
308	On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
309	file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
310	Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
311	following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
312
313	- build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
314
315	- install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
316	  for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
317
318	If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
319	the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
320	file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
321
32220080827:
323	If you built and installed a libc from sources between
324	2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
325	which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
326	Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
327	needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
328	  $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
329
33020080813:
331	MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
332	about .go files.  You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
333
33420080802:
335	A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
336	been fixed.  Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
337	for -current.
338
339	Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
340	libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
341	be recompiled.
342
343	One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
344
345	  $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
346	  $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
347
34820080731:
349	WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
350	time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
351	and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
352	don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
353	especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
354	also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
355	can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
356
35720080721:
358	Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
359	isn't defined.
360
36120080531:
362	The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
363	from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129.  The drvctl(8)
364	utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
365	won't work correctly.  The following sequence of commands:
366
367	  $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
368	  $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
369	  $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
370
371	leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
372
37320080503:
374	The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
375
37620080521:
377	For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
378	succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
379	${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist.  A fix for this
380	problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
381	If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
382	remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
383
38420080303:
385	Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
386
38720080126:
388	The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
389	stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub.  You need to
390	'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
391	avoid using the old assembly stub.
392
39320071209:
394	The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments.  If you
395	get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
396	configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
397
39820071115:
399	The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
400	argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
401	anymore.  The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
402	rather than the EC address port.  Please update your kernel
403	configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
404
40520071028:
406	The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
407	You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
408	to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
409	now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
410	entries for the wscons driver.  See the GENERIC configuration file
411	for more details.
412
41320070913:
414	A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
415	enumerate interfaces was fixed.  The bug began to cause
416	problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
417	implementation was repaired.  From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
418	could not enumerate interfaces.  (These are noted because
419	normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
420	sufficient to avoid this problem.)  Ensure that both kernel
421	and userland are from after 20070913.
422
42320070703:
424	nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install.  It
425	calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
426	down STRIP from make has been removed.  This requires a
427	re-installation of tools.
428
42920070422:
430	The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
431	has been changed.  Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
432	to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
433	root.  One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
434	root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
435	start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
436	that has such links.
437	This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
438	the emulated root.
439
44020070412:
441	The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed.  Use macekbc
442	instead.  See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
443	example.
444
44520070319:
446        src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
447        on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings.  If you
448        updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
449	cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
450	rebuild of object files that might have been built
451	incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
452	src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
453
45420070210:
455        src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
456          find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
457              | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
458        will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
459

461        The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
462        was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
463        kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
464        library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7).  If you boot with
465        an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
466        (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
467        the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
468        continue to work with an old or new kernel.  Note that named(8)
469	is the only threaded application in the base system.

472	Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
473	from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
474	will need to do a "make cleandir" in
475		tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
476		bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
477		usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
478		as the installation images in distrib/
479	in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
480	file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
481
48220061108:
483	The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
484	changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
485	does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared.  You'll need to
486	make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
487
48820061009:
489	The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
490	available.  Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
491
49220060814:
493	The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
494	withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
495	kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
496	few years should cope.
497
49820060703:
499	MPACPI is no more.  We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
500	if we have an ACPI kernel.  The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
501	to ACPI_SCANPCI.  Thanks to work from fvdl.
502
50320060627:
504	socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
505	For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
506	your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
507	errors will result.
508
509Hints for a more successful build:
510^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
511    Use build.sh, but do not use its "expert mode":
512	This will automatically build the tools in the
513	   correct order, and it will keep the tools and the
514	   new build products from interfering with the running
515	   system.  This will allow you to ignore most of the
516	   other advice in this file.
517    Build a new kernel first:
518	This makes sure that any new system calls or features
519	   expected by the new userland will be present.  This
520	   helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
521    Use object directories:
522	This helps to keep stale object
523	   files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"
524	   about one.  It also makes it easier to clean up after
525	   a build.  It's also necessary if you want to use the
526	   same source tree for multiple machines.
527	   To use object directories with build.sh:
528	    a) invoke build.sh with the "-M" or "-O" options.
529	   To use object directories without using build.sh:
530	    a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
531	    b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
532	    c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
533	    d) cd /usr/src ; make build
534	   Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create
535	   in obj.$MACHINE directory.
536    Build to a DESTDIR:
537	This helps to keep old installed files (especially libraries)
538	   from interfering with the new build.
539	   To build to a DESTDIR with build.sh, use the "-D" option.
540	   To build to a DESTDIR without using build.sh, set the DESTDIR
541	   environment variable before running make build.  It should be
542	   set to the pathname of an initially empty directory.
543	   Problems: if you do not use build.sh, you might need to
544		update critical utilities without using DESTDIR since
545		nothing is executed from what is installed in DESTDIR.
546		(See critical utils, below.)
547    Build often:
548	This keeps critical utilities current enough to not choke
549	on any other part of the source tree that depends on up to
550	date functionality.  If you use build.sh, you should not have
551	this problem.
552
553What to do if things don't work:
554^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
555When things don't work there are usually a few things that commonly
556should be done.
557    1)	make includes
558	This should be done automatically by make build.
559    2)  cd share/mk && make install
560	Again, automatically done by make build.
561
562Failsafe rebuild of a small part of the tree:
563^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
564To make sure you rebuild something correctly you want to do
565something like the following:
566    1)  Make sure the includes and .mk files are up to date.
567    2)  Make sure any program used to build the particular
568	utility is up to date.  (yacc, lex, etc...)
569    3)  cd ...path/to/util...
570	make cleandir
571	rm ...all obj directories...
572	make cleandir			# yes, again
573	make obj
574	make depend && make
575
576Failsafe rebuild of the entire tree:
577^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
578If you really want to make sure the source tree is clean and
579ready for a build try the following.  Note that sourcing /etc/mk.conf
580(a make(1) Makefile) in this manner is not right, and will not work
581for anyone who uses any make(1) features in /etc/mk.conf.

616Other problems and possible solutions:
617^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
618Symptom:Complaints involving a Makefile.
619Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/make:
620	cd usr.bin/make && make && make install
621	Or, a failsafe method if that doesn't work:
622	cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*.c -I . -o make && mv make /usr/bin
623
624Fix:	Make sure .mk files are up to date.
625	cd share/mk && make install
626
627Symptom:Kernel `config' fails to configure any kernel, including GENERIC.
628Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/config
629
630Symptom:
631Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/yacc
632
633Symptom:
634Fix:	Rebuild usr.bin/lex
635
636Symptom:
637Fix:	rm /usr/lib/libbfd.a
638
639Symptom:Obsolete intermediate files are used during compilation
640Fix:	Try the following sequence of commands in the directory in question.
641	make cleandir; rm `make print-objdir`; make cleandir; make obj
642	(If you built the tree without "make obj" in the past, obsolete files
643	may remain.  The command tries to clean everything up)
644
645Symptom:.../sysinst/run.c:xx: warning: initialization from incompatible
646	pointer type
647Fix:	Rebuild and install usr.bin/menuc
648
649Symptom:mklocale not found during build in share/locale/ctype
650Fix:	Build and install usr.bin/mklocale
651
652Symptom:undefined reference to `__assert13' or `__unsetenv13'
653Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
654
655Symptom:usr.bin/config fails to build.
656Fix:	Try building with -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP added to CFLAGS in Makefile.
657
658Symptom:undefined reference to `getprogname' or `setprogname'
659Fix:    Rebuild and install lib/libc
660
661Symptom:lint does not understand the '-X' option
662Fix:    May need to build & install libs with NOLINT=1 before rebuilding lint
663
664Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
665	(e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
666Fix:    Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.
