This is a heads up for anyone who does incremental builds
and specifies the -r flag to nightly. The fix for

     6878175 Fix for 6866605 can produce large noisy nightly -r output

updates the SUNWonbld tools, as found in /ws/onnv-tools/onbld. Specifically,
it changes the order of the lines in the following files, which are
produced by check_rtime when the -r flag is used.

     usr/src/ELF-data.$(MACH)/runtime.attr
     usr/src/ELF-data.$(MACH).ref/runtime.attr

where $(MACH) is one of i386 or sparc. When your build system
switches to the new version of SUNWonbld, if you do an incremental
build in a pre-existing workspace, your first build may report a large
number of spurious warnings in the

     ==== Diff ELF runtime attributes (since last build) ====

section of your build mail. To avoid this, it suffices to remove
both directories from your workspace before you start your first
build following the tool update:

     usr/src/ELF-data.$(MACH)
     usr/src/ELF-data.$(MACH).ref

If you do not remove these directories, your first incremental
build will produce a large amount of noise, which can be safely
ignored. This will only happen once (per workspace).
