'make search' is still broken and we are working on that. This only affects 4.X. This was the first time we've tested a patchset on 5-exp instead of 4-exp and of course this enraged Murphy (he of Murphy's Law) and so he came and bit us pretty hard. As well, a few ports that were doing non-standard things with USE_RC_SUBR were broken by this same checkin, and we are working with the maintainers on those ports as we find them. Apologies for the instability. mcl
