Here's my reaction to a couple of problems people reported on this list:
1. I too had problems with join(1), but after recompiling join, nm
and tsort as deraadt@fsa.ca suggested, no problemo anymore.
2. micheal@iastate.edu has reboots with the Dec 24 kernel.
Yep, had that too.Fixed it by compiling wd.c without optimizations.
For more details, see below.
3. ps(1) and top problems: I'm seeing those too.
Okay, on to my current problems:
1. when compiling gnu/usr.bin/gcc2/libgcc2.c, cc complains
about a syntax error in line 1106. It appears that gstddef.h
doesn't typedef size_t anymore. I temprorarily 'fixed' this
by include stddef.h instead of gstddef.h.
2. /sys/arch/i386/isa/wd.c uses insw() from <machine/pio.h>. The
call for insw is something like insw(port, buf, n). Using -O
or -O2 when you compile this file the address of buf is calculated
wrongly I think. That's why the IDE drivename (ST3550 in my case)
gets completely mangled and you'll see negative numbers for heads
and cylinders on your screen. 'Fix': see above.
