HEADS UP: Building a 6.X or 5.X Jail on -CURRENT

[Joe Marcus Clarke]

Here is a patch that will allow a 6.X or 5.X Jail to build on -CURRENT.
It was taken from
http://users.gotsky.com/cvonk/linux/siso/ap-kernel-binutils-patch.html
and I've confirmed it does work.  Applying this is somewhat tricky.  If
you are using my Tinderbox 2.4 alpha code, you can use a preJailBuild
hook to patch the source prior to a build.  For example, your hook could
be:

#!/bin/sh

major_version=$(echo ${JAIL} | sed -E -e 's|(^.).*$|\1|')
if [ ${major_version} -le 6 ]; then
    cd ${SRCBASE}
    patch -p1 < /path/to/binutils.diff
fi
exit 0

If you are not using hooks yet, you will have to hack mkjail to pause
after the update to allow you to apply the patch.  The patch will need
to be applied each time the Jail is updated.
