Marcel Moolenaar 4e92419dcd Do not ignore any possible errors that fseeko() may have. The fact
is that fseeko() fails in very predictable and frequent ways on ia64.
This is because the offset is actually an address in the process'
address space, which on ia64 can be larger than long (for lseek) or
off_t (for fseeko). The crux is the signedness. The register stack
and memory stack are in region 4 on ia64. This means that the sign bit
is 1. The large positive virtual address is wrongly interpreted as
a negative file offset.

There's no quick fix. Even if you get around the API by using a
SEEK_SET up to LONG_MAX and follow it up with a SEEK_CUR for the
remainder, the kernel simply cannot deal with it. and the second
seek will just fail.

Therefore, this change does not actually fix the root cause. It just
makes sure we're not spitting out all kinds of garbage or that the
get_struct() function in particular does not cause truss(1) to exit.
This, I might add, invariably happened way too soon for truss(1) to
be of any use on ia64...

UPDATING Warn that you won't be able to build a kernel if you do an installworld 2003-11-13 00:10:43 +00:00

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
