BIG FAT WARNING about master + pkgsrc HEAD

* Threaded programs are broken after (seems to be trivial) commit 
  704e9c962d491f4dba31d2922f7a70d92b373d30. The problem seems to be 
  that --version-script didn't work at all so far (it was silently 
  ignored), now with -Wl it does and exposes bugs.

* Xorg from pkgsrc HEAD doesn't work at all with Intel hardware. It's due 
  to another serious threading related bug in our libc. Corecode is
  working on this already AFAIK.

So, if you are affected by these, please hold on an update until these are 
fixed.
