RELENG_4 (for the time being) is obviously building 'make release' again because someone else reduced the size of GENERIC mfs kernel by removing shared memory definitions. Nevertheless, sooner or later we may need more space due to further kernel bloat, so bzip-ing the GENERIC kernel instead of gzip-ing it would save some space - my diffs do just that which was my solution to the problem in mid-december 2001 where 'make release' was failing and the BOOTMFS kernel had to get smaller one way or the other. My suggestion would be to put a form of this change into -current, and if we need it (in the case of further kernel bloat) after 4.5-RELEASE, we can then easily MFC it. There is still the question of where the loader compile flags should be put, since WORLD_FLAGS may be a bit too generic place for this. I'm copying all the people who communicated with me at the time concerning the thread called Re: Waaaarg, we just blew out the kernel again.. in freebsd-stable. which started all this.
