^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+20101125:
+ The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment
+ variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
+ assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
+ old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
+ break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
+ so building gcc will end up printing:
+ checking dependency style of gcc... none
+ configure: error: no usable dependency style found
+ Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
