System: NetBSD pattern 1.0A NetBSD 1.0A (PATTERN) #191: Wed Oct 11 21:53:46 EDT 1995 jtk@pattern:/u1/NetBSD-current/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/PATTERN i386


>Description:
	The i386 boot blocks don't build, due to old unneeded libkern stuff.
>How-To-Repeat:
try to build them.  You'll get:
ld -Bstatic -e start -N -T 0 -o boot start.o table.o boot.o asm.o bios.o io.o disk.o sys.o version.o lib/kern/libkern.o
io.o: Definition of symbol `_strcmp' (multiply defined)
lib/kern/libkern.o: Definition of symbol `_strcmp' (multiply defined)
*** Error code 1

>Fix:
This fix removes the unneeded libkern, and adds a size check to insure
the blocks don't get too big:
