Hello, I have updated some binary packages using pkg(8) but neglected to rebuild the world and my favourite web browsers no longer started complaining about the undefined symbol __memcpy_chk@FBSD_1.8 Would that be a good idea to add that information to the Handbook and possible bump FreeBSD_version and add this info to UPDATING? I fully accept that running -CURRENT as a daily driver leads to surprises like this, but it took me a bit long to figure out which change has caused this [1]. I was also thinking, would that be ok to add the synopsis of _memcpy_chk and other functions to the relevant memcpy(3) etc. manpages? Only when viewing the diff I found out I could learn about those from ssp(3). Thanks for keeping FreeBSD alive, Marcin [1] spoiler alert: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D32306
