I don't observe any singe problem so far. This has revealed another issue on RELENG_6 while rafan@ did the MFC. The problem is that the installworld process needs sh(1), but a dynamically linked sh(1) will require ncurses libraries, which calls ctype.h (and in turn _ctype.h), so inherited requires the new symbol. Unfortunately on RELENG_6 libc.so is not forced to be installed first, so once ncurses libraries are updated, it refuses the old libc.so bits as it does not provide the required symbol. I have discussed this with rafan@ and he committed a workaround, which is to MFC src/lib/Makefile,v 1.221. On RELENG_7 and HEAD we already have the change so it's not a problem for these branches. Hopefully we can find out a way of making newly compiled binaries backward compatible with the old RELENG_6 world?
