You MUST pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd before attempting to use the new
libc, or things may go wrong. (I doubt anything actually /will/ go
wrong, but the actual behavior is undefined. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.)
The database format is, however, backwards-compatible, so old executables
will still work.
are running under. Here's how to bootstrap (order is important):
1) Re-compile gcc (just the driver is all you need).
2) Re-compile libc.
3) Re-compile your kernel. Reboot.
4) cd /usr/src/include; make install
You can now detect the compilation environment with the following code:
#if !defined(__FreeBSD__)
#define __FreeBSD_version 199401
#elif __FreeBSD__ == 1
#define __FreeBSD_version 199405
#else
#include <osreldate.h>
#endif
You can determine the run-time environment by calling the new C library
function getosreldate(), or by examining the MIB variable kern.osreldate.
For the time being, the release date is defined as 199409, which we have
already established as our target.
