>Description:
This is the first one of a set of patches to fix portability in the
FreeBSD build utilities. The goal is that they run on any POSIX system
so that they can be used to bootstrap FreeBSD from non-FreeBSD systems.
(FYI, we're already using them in Debian for cross-platform operability. See http://packages.debian.org/freebsd-buildutils)

This patch protects the __unused and __FBSDID macros in each of the
relevant source files. Due to the existing __FBSDID lines being subject
to continous updates, this changes have great chances to get outdated,
so I'm sending them first. Please apply soon.

>How-To-Repeat:
      
>Fix:
I'll attach the patch as a followup once the PR is created.
