Examples:
export x=~
now expands the tilde
local y=$1
is now safe, even if $1 contains IFS characters or metacharacters.
For a word to "look like an assignment", it must start with a name followed
by an equals sign, none of which may be quoted.
The special treatment applies when the first word (potentially after
"command") is "export", "readonly" or "local". There may be quoting
characters but no expansions. If "local" is overridden with a function there
is no special treatment ("export" and "readonly" cannot be overridden with a
function).
If things like
local arr=(1 2 3)
are ever allowed in the future, they cannot call a "local" function. This
would either be a run-time error or it would call the builtin.
This matches Austin Group bug #351, planned for the next issue of POSIX.1.

It is planned to expand variable assignments as assignments (no word
splitting, different tilde expansion) when they follow a "declaration
utility" (export, readonly or local). However, a quoted character cannot be
part of a "name" so things like \v=~ are not assignments, and the existing
behaviour applies.
not updated as part of `make installworld' such as files in /etc. It
manages updates by doing a three-way merge of changes made to these files
against the local versions. It is also designed to minimize the amount
of user intervention with the goal of simplifying upgrades for clusters
of machines.
The primary difference from mergemaster is that etcupdate requires less
manual work. The primary difference from etcmerge is that etcupdate
updates files in-place similar to mergemaster rather than building a
separate /etc tree.

We got this from OpenBSD and I cannot find any other make that supports
such things -- contrary to their commit message claim: "This behaviour
is also consistent with other versions of make.".

POSIX says that SIGPIPE affects a process and therefore a SIGPIPE caused and
received by a subshell environment may or may not affect the parent shell
environment.
The change assumes that ${SH} is executed in a new process. This must be the
case if it contains a slash and everyone appears to do so anyway even though
POSIX might permit otherwise.
This change makes builtins/wait3.0 work in ksh93.
