Description dima 2001-01-14 10:30:01 UTC 
It's enough that the kernel build process isn't fool-proof (not that I
think it necessarily should be; it's easy enough, and at some point
one must stop trying to take care of those afraid of a little
thinking), but many users get even more frustrated when the build of
the GENERIC kernel fails.  This entry attempts to explain some of the
common causes for GENERIC failing to build.  It was inspired by the
occasional bursts of complains about GENERIC failing to build
following changes to gcc or other build tools.

Fix: Apply the following patch to doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml.
How-To-Repeat: 
Read freebsd-(questions|stable) for a while.  Look for threads about
kernels failing to build even though the originator "tried everything"
(except for buildworld before buildkernel, that is!)
