+ Alphas with kernels from between 20020830 and 20021023 and/or
+ rtld (ld-elf.so.1) older than 20021023 may experience problems
+ with groff while doing a buildworld (kernel: "out of memory",
+ fixed in rev 1.129 of kern/imgact_elf.c; rtld: "too few PT_LOAD
+ segments", fixed in rev 1.8 of libexec/rtld-elf/map_object.c).
+
+ So, to successfully upgrade your Alpha, you must either
+ upgrade your kernel and rtld first (which might be a bit
+ tricky), or avoid running the bootstrapped groff during the
+ "transitional" buildworld. To avoid running groff during the
+ transitional upgrade run make buildworld with -DNOMAN,
+ -DNO_SHAREDOCS, and -DNO_LPR.
