I added the following line to:

/usr/src/bin/sh/miscbltin.c

in the function called:

int
ulimitcmd(argc, argv)
        int argc;
        char **argv;
{
        register int    c;
        typedef quad_t rlim_t;     <------------------------------New line
        rlim_t val;                        <----- This was the line that is
was complaining about
                                                        the type rlim_t
being unknown before adding my
                                                        line. I got the
quad_t value by reading the
                                                        source-changes
archives but I am not sure if it's
                                                        correct.

        enum { SOFT = 0x1, HARD = 0x2 }
                        how = SOFT | HARD;
        const struct limits     *l;
        int             set, all = 0;
        int             optc, what;
        struct rlimit   limit;


Anyway, now when I compile all compiles clean but the link fails with:



I was building based on the instructions by Alistair G. Crooks near the
beginning
of these instructions, after building the new kernel etc. he notes:

# it was at this stage that I got REALLY fed up with the
# sh: warning: running as root with dot in PATH
(cd /usr/src/bin/sh ; make && make install &&  make cleandir)

Should I skip this step and have the make of world cover off a new 'sh' for
me. I can
live with the root with dot in PATH stuff if that would solve the problem ?
Did I typedef
rlim_t correctly ?
