Good job Devs! This one is is working well. I upgraded a 3.7 VM to 3.8 rc4. Then I rebuilt all the ports in the df repo. Here's the results from that. python3 new version caused footprint mismatch in 40 ports. perl new version caused footprint mismatch in 19 ports. The defaults in gcc have changed a bit. Some warnings have become errors. glibc has rearranged something. Some function prototypes are no longer available as they were before. So some older source code had to have #include's added. That's all for the tl;dr. What follows is notes on problems and the resolution for each. Thanks again Devs! Tested CRUX 3.8-rc4 upgrade on a CRUX 3.7 VM. Worked well. Spent some time fiddling with a few error messages before I remembered to rejmerge :-O cyclic dependencies: python3-tomli python3-flit-core Haven't sorted this out yet but it is not serious. These seem to be in the df repo from CRUX 3.5/3.6 days. Since they are in opt repo they will be removed from df repo. #chmlib (df) chm_lib.c:727:15: error: implicit declaration of function 'pread64'; did you mean 'pread'?

And still footprint due to python3 bump.
