I am trying to cross build -current on FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE. I got an error
in line 300 of usr.sbin/installboot/installboot.c. I changed
ulong val;
into
u_long val;
(is u_long supposed to exist on all posix compliant systems?)

But what would be the fix for the endian symbols below? This is a
"build tools".
