Regarding the problem I reported two days ago with "make buildworld"
on 4.2-RELEASE, I removed my /usr/src completely and CVSup'ed
4.2-RELEASE again, but still have an internal compiler error at the
same place (ncurses' alloc_entry.c). At the time, I was running
4.1-RELEASE on a Cyrix P166 processor. After many attempts to compile
this file by hand, I found a hack to get it to work, but have
absolutely no idea why this worked:
% grep MAX_ENTRY_SIZE /usr/src/contrib/ncurses/include/tic.h
#define MAX_ENTRY_SIZE 4096 /* maximum legal entry size */
% diff -u /usr/src/contrib/ncurses/ncurses/tinfo/alloc_entry.c-orig /usr/src/contrib/ncurses/ncurses/tinfo/alloc_entry.c

I successfully did a "make world", and installed a new 4.2 kernel:
% uname -a
FreeBSD bean.eece.unm.edu 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov 23 22:12:05 MST 2000 root@bean.eece.unm.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BEAN4 i386
Again, I have no idea of the real cause of this problem. If anyone is
curious, I could try to rebuild the 4.2-RELEASE /usr/src using the
updated version of gcc installed with 4.2-R, and see if I still have
the problem with alloc_entry.c
I do not think that this is limited to "just me", but I found several
other emails from folks trying to build 4.x-Releases who broke at this
same point.
