30hack	netstat ieee1394 address printing.

34descr
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.

40hack	xterm vs. libterm

44pr	10383
45descr
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.

57descr	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.

66file	lib/libcurses/color.c : r1.24

68	Swap red/blue and yellow/cyan colours for COLOR_OTHER.
69	Fix is to enhance libtermcap to understand terminfo-style % sequences.

74hack	Compensation for differing types of LINUX_USRSTACK and USRSTACK
75cdate	21 Aug 2003
76who	he
77file	sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs_linux.c : 1.14
78descr
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.

91file	src/usr.sbin/racoon/racoon/Makefile : 1.21
92descr
93	GCC issues a warning "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
94	strict-aliasing rules" when compiling
95	crypto/dist/kame/racoon/crypto/openssl.c with -O[23s]. Note that this
96	is due to use of type casting in a non-standard way in the code and
97	not a compiler bug. Once a new release of KAME with a proper fix
98	applied is imported this should be backed out.

181descr
182	GCC 4.1 gets many uninitialised variable warnings wrong.  We should
183	really audit all the old hacks like this when older compilers are
184	removed from the tree, as many are probably no longer required.
185	The problem is that it does not recognize initialization via function
186	call pointer. I.e.
187		int p;
188		foo(&p);
189	does not mark p as initialized.

419	descr
420		We cannot use "-std=c99" for compiler warning level 4 and above
421		because gcc 2.95.3 doesn't support that option.

429	descr
430		The IPF user-mode programs ipsend and iptest first
431		include <sys/types.h> without _KERNEL defined, and
432		later include <sys/file.h> with _KERNEL defined.
433		This causes a build failure when building for vax,
434		since <sys/device.h> ends up being included without
435		bollean_t being defined by <sys/types.h>.
436		Build failure and further details documented in
437		PR#32907.

481		really should be enough, but turns out not to be.
