+       /etc/make.conf now included earlier.
+       sys.mk now includes /etc/make.conf and {local,src}.sys.mk earlier
+       than previously.
+       This makes it simple to interpose external toolchains etc.
+       However it may cause problems for users who have things like::
+
+               INSTALL+= something
+
+       in /etc/make.conf, since INSTALL is not yet defined.
+       A safe fix for that is to have::
+
+               INSTALL?= install
+               INSTALL+= something
+
+       which is equivalent to previous behavior.

        FreeBSD's old make (fmake) has been removed from the system. It is
        available as the devel/fmake port or via pkg install fmake.
