As mentioned in this special status report[1] from EuroBSDCon 2013,
WITH_SSP_PORTS was relevant in the FreeBSD 9 and FreeBSD 10 days.
Nowadays, -fstack-protector is set by default. Relevant knobs and variables
are documented in ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk.
WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_VER was part of USE_GHOSTSCRIPT, which is deprecated.

o Dynamically load all the .so files found in /libexec/nvmecontrol and
/usr/local/libexec/nvmecontrol.
o Link nvmecontrol -rdynamic so that its symbols are visible to the
libraries we load.
o Create concatinated linker sets that we dynamically expand.
o Add the linked-in top and logpage linker sets to the mirrors for them
and add those sets to the mirrors when we load a new .so.
o Add some macros to help hide the names of the linker sets.
o Update the man page.

We generally document shutdown(8) instead of reboot(8) as it's better for
interactive use.
In modern FreeBSD is matters a lot less, it's mostly just convention. One
minor thing is that shutdown(8) produces a global message, while reboot(8)
does not. It is believed that historically, some versions of reboot did not
do appropriate safe shutdown checks and just rebooted.
It's also just consistency: for example the handbook[1] documents shutdown.
There is actually another important difference between reboot and shutdown
-r now: reboot does not run /etc/rc.shutdown. This is because reboot has
its own shutdown procedure and does not signal init like init 6 and
shutdown -r now do (except in the case of rerooting via reboot -r).
A few years ago jilles@ proposed changing reboot's default to signalling
init (preserving reboot -q which just invokes the reboot system call), but
this was not accepted. Perhaps this can be tried again for 13.0.

make buildenv can be used for building for the same architecture as
the host (perhaps this is a degenerate case of cross-building).
TARGET and TARGET_ARCH do not need to be set in this case.

Other architectures are documented in terms of the name that is displayed by
'uname -p', aka MACHINE_ARCH and TARGET_ARCH in the build system, now
aarch64 matches the rest of them.

Compilers may define multiple variants of architecture-specific macros
(for example, both __x86_64 and __x86_64__). Add a note that the macros
documented in arch.7 are the preferred ones for FreeBSD.

For some reason, the other link - https://lists.FreeBSD.org/ - needs
the trailing slash, otherwise man(8) renders it in a weird way. No
idea why's that. At least try to be consistent. Revert it when the
other link gets fixed.

This matches directory structure used commonly in Linux-land, and it's
cleaner than mixing overlays into the existing module paths. Overlays are
still mixed in by specifying fdt_overlays in loader.conf(5).

A comment in Makefile.inc1 has long stated that LOCAL_DIRS are built last,
after the base system. Incremental improvements in parallel building over
the years have led to LOCAL_DIRS being built in parallel with base system
directories. This change allows the .WAIT directive to appear in LOCAL_DIRS
and LOCAL_LIB_DIRS lists to give the user some control over parallel
building of local additions.
