Re: [9front] Error compiling libc/amd64/main9.s and/or main9p.s

[Jacob Moody <moody@posixcafe.org>]

There was an update that requires an update to the assembler and linker because a new instruction was added.
This was called out on the mailing list when it happened.

If you didn't 'mk nuke' your libc you can build the assembler and linker first:

for(i in (6a 6l))@{ cd /sys/src/cmd/^$i && mk install }

Then you may rebuild the rest of the system.

If you did 'mk nuke':
* if you use cwfs, copy older libc from dump and then do the above
   9fs dump cp /n/dump/2024/...
* if you use hjfs, copy updated binaries from the iso box.
   9fs iso && cp /n/iso/amd64/bin/^(6a 6c 6l) /amd64/bin/

It would be nice to have a way of these updates notifying people
of such manual steps. But for the time being I would suggest perusing
the mailing lists when doing large updates.

Thanks,
