Subject: compiler bug in 2.2-961006-SNAP release
Sender: owner-bugs@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

2.2-961006-SNAP introduces a bug in C compiler. The initialization uses
memset which is only available in user space. So, if kernel has such code
like:

Mystruct V = {any#};

It will causes kernel linking failure:

loading kernel
znatm.Dro: Undefined symbol `_memset' referenced from text segment
znatm.Dro: Undefined symbol `_memset' referenced from text segment
*** Error code 1
