Only use return value from system call if system call succeeded.
Tested with `make world` and some of my own scripts.
This should be MFCed soon. While /bin/sh is hard to test the fix is
obviously correct and can be assumed not to break something else
(famous last words...).
Joe Marcus Clarke <marcus@FreeBSD.ORG>, subshells could lose a
non-zero exit status.
This commit is Joe's proposed patch. Thanks!
I verified that the problem Joe found is fixed and I ran a full world
with this patch.
I don't plan to ever commit language patches to /bin/sh again. It is
a minefield too big to navigate without a full-time committment, which
I am not willing to do on our /bin/sh.
Under normal circumstances I would recommend using NetBSD's sh which
has a lot of language fixes (like the ones what these patches were
about) but unfortunately they had implemented broken signal behaviour
for shellscript containing interactive programs. Similar issues apply
to pdksh which is OpenBSD's sh.
From my perspective bash2 is the only really working bourne sh out
there and that one is GPLed. Oh well.

sh -e behaviour was incorrect when && and || statements where used in
"if" clauses.
This is the patch submitted by MORI Kouji <mori@tri.asanuma.co.jp>.
It fixes the issue at hand, but sh fixes like this are super-hard to
verify that they don't break anything else. I ran some of my old test
cases and a few big GNU configure scripts that detected mistakes
before, with the previous sh, patched sh and bash. No differences in
behaviour found. MFC recommended after longer than usual time.

have /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 as the dynamic linker. This simply does
not work if /usr is a seperate filesystem not mounted when the kernel
tries to execute init(8).
Note that this is a temporary fix until a new gcc has been imported
that does have the required changes.

You should build and boot a new kernel BEFORE doing a `make world'
as the new kernel will know about binaries using the old statfs
structure, but an old kernel will not know about the new system
calls that support the new statfs structure. Running an old kernel
after a `make world' will cause programs such as `df' that do a
statfs system call to fail with a bad system call.

2. Print the file name in the error message for (fatal) malloc() failures
in rm_overwrite(). I first thought that malloc() failures should be
non-fatal since they don't prevent proceeding the the next file, but
making them non-fatal would normally give too much output for rm -Pr
on a large tree in the unlikely event that even one occurs, since the
malloc()ed amounts are usually the same. Just print the file name since
the malloc()ed amounts are not always the same and it doesn't hurt to
know where rm was when it quit.
