The patch I was going to commit was: http://people.freebsd.org/~peter/stdio.diff3 .. but this *totally* breaks installworld due to *BAD* brokenness in installworld. I can deal with /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 recompiles, but when the installworld dies because the dynamic linked copy of /usr/bin/* in /tmp/XXX/* gets the /usr/lib/libc.so.5 clobbered and explodes, leaving a 100% totally screwed up system, then I begin to think we are doing something wrong. If it wasn't for that, I could deal with a /usr/local and /usr/X11R6/lib recompile. I wish the people who say 'dont bump libraries at any cost' would fix the build so it was possible for an installworld to complete with an incompatable libc change.
