time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
before installing.
3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
your build breaks in the middle, don't dispair. Make sure headers
are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
you'll need to bump them and rebuild them.
