Well, the whole OS except the man pages.  I haven't even thought
about the problems I have when groff tries to do its thing.

The last full compile I did completed a number of days ago, and
started days before that.  The libc that was in the source at the
time I compiled /usr/lib was 12.0, so I haven't run into 12.1
problems yet.

When I next decide to recompile the OS will depend on when I next
encounter a problem that will be solved by doing so...

Right now, I'm trying to compile the kernel.  This leads to one
question:  Why is "maxpartitions 8" commented out in
files.sun3.newconf?  I had to uncomment it to config my kernel.
No biggie, just wondering.  Perhaps Gordon uses an older version
of config.new.

Good luck with libc.so.12.1!
