It might be worth mentioning this in UPDATING or similar, since a kernel
built with clang (I haven't tried gcc) during this window will make it
impossible to do a buildworld without first rebuilding the kernel with
this fix. It also seems to break at least portsnap, and possibly other
tools as well.
